Real Madrid vs Man City LIVE: Champions League result and final score after six-goal thriller

All smiles for Manchester City after that rollercoaster ride:

TNT Sports commentator Steve McManaman reacts to the match saying: “An outstanding game of football from two quality teams. It’s a pity that one of them will have to go out next week.”

This is only the fourth time in the Champions League that both teams have scored 3+ goals in the first leg of two-legged knockout stage tie, with the previous instance also being between these two sides (Man City 4-3 Real Madrid in 2021-22).

Phil Foden has scored six goals from outside the box this season; the most of any player for a Premier League club across all competitions.

Real Madrid and Manchester City played out an enthralling match at the Santiago Bernabeu as their Champions League quarter-final first leg ended in a 3-3 draw.

Bernardo Silva got the visitors off to the perfect start after Jack Grealish was fouled high up the pitch. City were awarded a free kick and with just one man in the wall, Bernardo swung a shot past the defender and snuck it in by the near post.

Real responded quickly. They controlled possession and worked the ball high up the pitch utilising the pace of their wide forwards. Fortune played its part in the next two goals. Eduardo Camavinga cutting in from the right to score with a deflected shot off Ruben Dias.

Less than two minutes late Rodrygo added another. A fluid counter-attack saw him slipped into space and he drove into the box to score a side-footed effort that bounced in off Manuel Akanji.

Madrid remained in front until partway through the second half. The break provided a reset for City who came out with more focus and verve. Phil Foden, tasked with the central creative role, was the main for the moment. He curled a shot from the edge of the box into the far top corner and brought City level.

Josko Gvardiol then sent them ahead with a similar strike from the opposite side of the pitch. Just when City looked to be taking control of the tie there was one last twist in the tale. A simple cross, a brilliant volley, Federico Valverde’s strike bringing Real Madrid their latest equaliser.

The game ended in a draw, next stop the Etihad Stadium for the conclusion of a wonderful quarter-final tie.

90+4 mins: And breathe.

What a game this was. The best two teams left in the competition served up a real treat for the watching fans as the lead swung back-and-forth throughout the game.

Six goals were scored in total, at least four were fantastic, two other were fortunate. Real Madrid had the better first half, Manchester City the better second.

All in all it seems a fair result and neither manager will be too displeased. The next time the sides meet will be at the Etihad Stadium next Wednesday when we’ll find out who will be going through to the semi-finals.

If that match is anything like this one then it’s too close to call. Real Madrid versus Manchester City ends 3-3 at the Bernabeu.

90 mins: There are four minutes of added time to play before the final whistle.

88 mins: That change was Manchester City’s first one of the night. There’s a couple of minutes plus stoppage time to play. As things stand this is a decent result for both teams.

It’s slightly better for City as they play at home next but with the way the game has gone Real Madrid will take a draw right now.

85 mins: Phil Foden is down after taking a big knock on the back of his ankle. He receives some treatment and Pep Guardiola makes the decision to replace him on the pitch.

Julian Alvarez is coming on as his replacement.
