Federico Valverde struck the first hat-trick of his career as Real Madrid swept aside Manchester City 3-0 in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie on Wednesday, leaving the Premier League side with a daunting task ahead. Pep Guardiola’s City side began brightly at the Santiago Bernabeu, but were caught out by Madrid’s pace on the break. From a swift move following a goal kick, Thibaut Courtois released Valverde down the right, who rounded Gianluigi Donnarumma to open the scoring in the 20th minute.
