The return leg between Manchester City and Monaco was always going to struggle to match the excitement of their first meeting, but both teams tried their hardest.There were four goals, and Monaco’s progression to the quarter-finals of the Champions League wasn’t assured until the final whistle.Add in City’s suspect defending and Monaco’s incredibly exciting attack and it made for entertaining viewing.The tie finished 6-6 on aggregate - Monaco progressing thanks to the away goals rule - and nobody will forget about it in a hurry.After going down 5-3 at the Etihad Stadium, Leonardo Jardim’s team needed to score at least twice to have any chance of reaching the final eight.They needed just 29 minutes to score those two goals, Kylian Mbappe and Fabinho making Pep Guardiola’s side pay for some abject marking.It was now City who needed to score. Any team that includes Sergio Aguero, Leroy Sane and Raheem Sterling will always pose a threat, and it was the latter two who combined to score City’s away goal, Sane turning the ball home after Sterling’s effort was tipped into his path.

City weren't able to hang on

But even the most optimistic City fan knew that Monaco would have at least one more good opportunity to score. City’s defence just isn’t good enough to keep one of the most potent attacks in Europe down.

And the Ligue 1 outfit scored a decisive third when Tiemoue Bakayoko headed home from Thomas Lemar’s free-kick.

Neville's rash bet

There was still 13 minutes remaining, meaning City had more than enough time to score again.

Phil Neville, on co-commentary duty for BBC Radio 5 live, was certain that there would be another goal. So much so that he was willing to put his life on the line.

“It was Monaco’s first attack of the second half,” Neville said.

“City played a really high line and it was a free header for Tiemoue Bakayoko. You cannot allow attackers to get that much space.

“There is another goal in this game, I put my life on it.”

Rather awkwardly for Neville, there wasn’t another goal.

Try not to be so dramatic next time, Phil. It’ll save your life.
