Manchester City's exit on away goals is the first time the former Barcelona and Bayern Munich boss has departed the competition at the last-16 stage
The Premier League visitors bowed on away goals in a 6-6 aggregate scoreline that featured a wild 5-3 first-leg win for them at the Etihad Stadium.
It was a result that established them as favourites for their trip to France, with Sergio Aguero or Leroy Sane - so potent in recent games - were expected to be able to secure a crucial away goal.
1 – This is the first time that a side managed by Pep Guardiola has exited the Champions League at the Last 16 stage. Blushes.
Leroy Sane put City back in front after the break, but Tiemoue Bakayoko scored the clincher shortly after that to send former Barcelona and Bayern Munich boss Guardiola out of the Champions League in the last-16 for the first time.
5 – Man City are the first team in Champions League history to be eliminated in a knockout tie after scoring 5 goals in the first leg. Wild.
