Real Madrid 3
Dias 12og, Rodrygo 14, Valverde 79
Manchester City 3
Silva 2, Foden 66, Gvardiol 71
The last two European champions gave us another wild night to remember. Carlo Ancelotti had called for courage and personality and there was plenty of that, plenty of talent too, and six goals at the Santiago Bernabéu to set up what should be a superb second leg at the Etihad next week. If it is half as good as this it will be fun: it will also be on edge to the very end.
One up after 95 seconds through Bernardo Silva, 2-1 down to two goals in 114 seconds from Eduardo Camavinga and Rodrygo , Manchester City came back to lead with two wonderful strikes in four second-half minutes, Phil Foden and Josep Gvardiol belting the ball into the net to leave Pep Guardiola dancing on the touchline. And then just when it seemed a comeback of their own was complete, Madrid did it again, Fede Valverde rounding off a noisy, tense and emotional night with a belting volley that left everyone exhausted but more or less where they already were.
It had been a long night and City could not have wished for a better start. They hadn’t even been out there two minutes when they had earned themselves a one-goal advantage.
