RMC Sport goes all-in on the outdoors and captures the intensity of the Manchester City-Real Madrid clash

There are some weeks when the RMC Sport crew is buzzing on all cylinders. Between a cracker of a new show that screams fresh air and a Champions League heavyweight bout that delivered on every level, the channel proves once again it's the go-to HQ for fans. Fair dinkum, we're being spoiled rotten.

"La Tête dans le guidon": The great outdoor rush lands on RMC Sport

Gone are the days when TV sports meant just the stadiums. RMC Sport is expanding the playing field with a gem: the "100% sports outdoor" program. The channel has played a blinder by teaming up with the creative duo "La Tête dans le guidon". These blokes are absolutely mad for the blacktop and the trails – true adventurers who live and breathe life on two wheels or in running shoes. Their motto? Pushing the limits, whether it's mountain biking through alpine pastures or trail running in the heart of volcanic ranges.

This new show promises a seriously immersive experience. We'll be right there with 'em, sweating through the screen, unearthing secret spots, and capturing the very DNA of this community. Here's a taste of what's in store:

• Extreme challenges: self-supported traversals, breathtaking ascents, wild bikepacking trips.
• Authentic encounters: with extreme riders, high mountain guides, and the craftspeople of the glide.
• Practical tips: on how to get started, choosing your gear, and how to avoid ending up in a crumpled heap at the bottom of a ravine.

In short, it's heavy, it's real, it's pure. Catch the first episode very soon on RMC Sport – Live TV. And if you miss the broadcast, no worries: the Replay has you covered.

Champions League: Manchester City – Real Madrid, the key takeaways from the clash

But a sports channel also lives for the here and now. And what a moment that first leg quarter-final was between the Sky Blues and the White House! Manchester City – Real Madrid is always a heavyweight bout, full of suspense and spectacle. And the 2026 edition was no exception.

If you missed the live action, no dramas: RMC Sport News and our ace investigator Fabrice Hawkins have prepared some razor-sharp analysis for you. The bloke is an absolute mine of info on transfers and behind-the-scenes gossip, but when he breaks down a match, it's a work of art. This time, he highlighted two profiles at opposite ends of the spectrum.

On one side, Aurélien Tchouaméni. What a game from the Frenchman! Fierce, imperious in the duels, clean in possession. He basically shut down City's midfield in the first half. That's vintage Tchouaméni, the one who makes you forget about any absent players. On the flip side, Tijjani Reijnders. The Real Madrid man, usually so composed, looked off the pace, almost a ghost. He was chasing shadows, lost key battles, and never imposed his rhythm on the game. When your playmaker is a no-show, the team's going to suffer, plain and simple. As Fabrice pointed out, this contrast was one of the key match-defining factors.

So, can Real turn it around at the Bernabéu? To find out, there's only one thing for it: stay glued to RMC Sport. Because when it comes to the Champions League, this is where the action truly comes alive.

RMC Sport, anytime, anywhere

Whether you're hooked on rolling news with RMC Sport News, a fan of live action on RMC Sport – Live TV, or prefer catching up with Replay, the channel has become an essential mate. Between the innovation of "100% sports outdoor" and the massive coverage of the UCL, we're absolutely spoilt. And with blokes like Fabrice Hawkins oozing passion, it's hard to look away.

So, ready for what's next? All I can say is: hats off, and bring on the rest of the action on RMC Sport!
