This Raheem Sterling goal vs Real Madrid saw some terrible defending from Los Blancos, with Raphael Varane caught in possession by Gabriel Jesus and virtually gifting Man City an opening goal in the second leg of their knockout tie at the Etihad on 7 August, 2020. The Varane howler against City came in the 9th minute- Thibault Courtois and the Real defenders were passing it amongst each other, but the City pressure told and resulted in an error, resulting in an easy tap in for Sterling.
Sterling goal v Real Madrid second leg (his 100th goal for City), Raphael Varane mistake
Jesus goal v Real Madrid- again Varane mistake Champions League
The errors saw Varane being rated very poorly in the player ratings for this City Real game in the Spanish press.
