  Players of the English premiership club side Manchester United in their match against Swansea City today wore black handbands as they mourn fans who died last week while watching Manchester United match.

Leonardo Jardim’s Ligue 1 leaders attacked with the inventive verve they brought to a first-leg thriller at the Etihad Stadium but, unlike when they eventually prevailed 5-3 last month, Pep Guardiola’s City failed to muster any response during a first half when they were entirely overwhelmed. Teen sensation Kylian Mbappe spearheaded Monaco’s charge from kick-off, the striker’s 11th goal in his past 11 starts coming after eight minutes and Fabinho added a nicely worked second. The Premier League side froze amid the onslaught but diligently wrested control of the contest during the second period, with Leroy Sane’s goal a reward for those efforts. But City switched off from a Thomas Lemar free-kick and Bakayoko headed in his maiden European goal to ensure Guardiola would fail to reach at least the semi-finals of the Champions League for the first time in his coaching career.
