'Collapsed in eight fatal minutes': Spanish press claim Real Madrid need a 'miracle' at the Etihad after falling to defeat against Manchester City

Real Madrid have been accused of collapsing by the Spanish press following their dramatic 2-1 defeat against Manchester City in the Champions League.

Gabriel Jesus and Kevin De Bruyne turned the game on its head after Isco netted the opener for the hosts in the 60th minute, leaving Madrid with it all to do at the Etihad in the second leg of their last-16 Champions League tie.

The La Liga giants will also be without captain Sergio Ramos following his straight red card for tripping up Jesus when he was through on goal right at the death.
