Manchester City v Tottenham Hotspur - UEFA Champions League Quarter Final: Second Leg

Manchester City made history by becoming the first side to win a domestic treble in 2019 but with just over a month left in the season, there were loud whispers of an unprecedented quadruple.

Much has been made of the fact that Pep Guardiola has not won the Champions League since 2011 and with heavyweights like Juventus, Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid, and Bayern Munich already eliminated, the coast was seemingly clear for the Catalan to right this wrong.

They were paired against a Tottenham side who were one of those trailing City in the league and Guardiola would have been confident in his side's ability to get the job done.

However, they got more than they bargained for in a 1-0 first leg defeat but despite that, the advantage was still with the Mancunians ahead of the return leg.

In what was a whirlwind opening, the hosts went ahead inside four minutes only for a quickfire brace by Son Heung-min to put Tottenham ahead by the 10th minute.

Just a minute later, the hosts had drawn level through Bernardo Silva and Raheem Sterling scored the 5th goal of the game in the 21st minute to level the tie and hand the initiative to the Premier League champions.

Sergio Aguero gave City a two-goal lead in the 59th minute and this would have been enough to secure progression until a contentious goal by Fernando Llorente put Tottenham back in the driving seat in the 79th minute.

There was still to be more drama, as in the 95th minute, Raheem Sterling scored what he thought was the winning goal, only for VAR to cut short the wild celebrations after adjudging Sergio Aguero to be marginally offside in the buildup thus ending Manchester City's hope for a unique quadruple.
