Not until the 2016-17 Champions League season did Monaco and Manchester City meet in a competitive setting, but it was worth the wait and then some, as the two clubs played out a 12-goal aggregate blockbuster in the last 16.

The maiden meeting at Man City's Etihad fortress produced no fewer than an extraordinary eight strikes, five of which went the Sky Blues' way as they overcame Kylian Mbappe's Monaco 5-3 on home turf.

A teenage Mbappe struck Monaco's second goal of the evening either side of two efforts from Radamel Falcao, whose brace put Leonardo Jardim's men 3-2 up in the second half after earlier goals from Raheem Sterling and Sergio Aguero.

However, the latter then matched his South American counterpart with his own double, before John Stones and Leroy Sane got in on the act in the final 15 minutes to put Guardiola's men in command of the two-legged tie.

Monaco's quest to turn the tide at home got off to a magnificent start, though, as Mbappe opened the scoring just eight minutes into the second leg before future Liverpool star Fabinho propelled Les Monegasques into a 2-0 lead on the stroke of the half-hour mark.

Heading into the final 20 minutes, Monaco were on course to progress thanks to the away goals rule, but Sane cut the deficit in half for Man City to restore the Citizens' aggregate advantage.

There would be one final twist to the knockout tale, though, as Tiemoue Bakayoko put Monaco 3-1 up in the 77th minute, and Jardim's men would book their ticket to the quarter-finals on away goals after an unforgettable 6-6 draw over the two legs.

The two sides met once more in the Champions League in the 2025-26 season, with the Stade Louis-II playing host to a 2-2 stalemate between the clubs in October 2025.

Erling Haaland managed to net a brace thanks to his exceptional movement in the penalty area to create space, but Monaco were worthy of thier point, equalising minutes after the striker netted his first after a quarter of an hour.

Though Haaland would give City a lead just before half time, Eric Dier's 90th-minute penalty ensured that the spoils were shared.
