Spain manager Luis Enrique speaking after the game: "I'm very happy for Ansu (Fati), he is 17 years old, you have to take it easy with him, little by little, he will improve.
"Players of this age need serenity, humility, and that's what Ansu has already.
"Sergio Ramos is a winner. And the winners are happy when they win. His numbers are beyond the reach of any other player.
"What he brings to this team, that enthusiasm ... That's why he's one of the best players in the world at his position."
Real Madrid captain Sergio Ramos opened the scoring from the penalty spot after Fati fouled in the box. Ramos made it 2 in the 29th minute before Ansu Fati broke the 95-year old record while new City signing Ferran Torres scored a late fourth with a volley at the far post.
