Manchester City issue Real Madrid warning with epic comeback video: “We fight to the end”
City relive Agüero, Gillingham and Aston Villa fightbacks in emotional video as they look to overturn 3-0 Champions League deficit against Real Madrid.

Real Madrid have become synonymous with their “remontadas” over the years, not least on the way to winning the Champions League in 2021-22, when they fought from behind to win three successive knockout rounds, including against Manchester City.
City send reminder ahead of Madrid clash
However, City, who go into Tuesday’s round of 16 second leg against Madrid 3-0 down, have reminded their opponents they are no slouches themselves when it comes to epic comebacks.
ON THIS DAY: In 2012, Manchester City won the Premier League title with a last gasp winner against QPR from Sergio Aguero.

From Gillingham to Agüero
From their two injury-time goals against Gillingham just to get out of England’s third tier in 1999, to that unforgettable Sergio Agüero goal in 2012, to their comeback from 2-0 down at home to Aston Villa to win the Premier League title in 2022, City have had their fair share of dramatic moments over the years, as their media team reminded fans ahead of facing Madrid.
