Kylian Mbappe's brilliant hat trick inspired Holders Real Madrid for a comfortable victory to reach the last 16 when the Champions League campaign from Manchester City came to a tame conclusion in the Bernabeu.
Pep Guardiola's side tried to turn a 3-2 backlog of the play-off first leg, but this match was effectively over after four minutes when Mbappe's precise lob from Raul Asencios Pass raised their advantage.
City, with Erling Haaland only fit enough to be on the couch, saw their plight the time after the opener of Mbappe aggravate when they lost defender John Stones to injury.
And City's earliest Exit Champions League, because they were unable to get out of the group in 2012-2013 when Mbappe showed a brilliant close control to Josko Gvardiol with the wrong foot before beating Ederson after 33 minutes.
The third of the French Vooruit came with a low shot just after the hour when the city took a glove on really all night when they were surpassed.
City withdrew a goal when Nico Gonzalez yielded his first goal for the club after the free kick by Omar Marmoush reached the bar, but it was not a comfort on a desperate night before the ruling Premier League champions.
