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

32 mins: Real Madrid are more than happy for Manchester City to work the ball into the wide ares. They want to starve Erling Haaland of any touches and keep him quiet.

Close! Jack Grealish is given the ball on the left wing. He sends it to Rodri who flicks the ball into the box to Mateo Kovacic. Kovacic feeds it to Grealish who checks to the right and shoots only to see Aurelien Tchouameni block the effort.

29 mins: Phil Foden has to stretch to get on the end of a pass from Ruben Dias. He touches the ball too close to Jude Bellingham who wins possession back for the hosts.

Foden lunges to get the ball back and takes out Bellingham’s leg affording Real Madrid a free kick.

26 mins: Vinicius Jr drifts in from the left as Camavinga gets on the ball. He turns and slots a pass to the winger who lifts a shot from range high and wide.

Not the best effort of the night that one.

23 mins: Real Madrid are so quick on the counter-attack. Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo sprint forward when the hosts turn the ball over in their own half and City’s defence is left scrambling to keep up.

Ruben Dias is up to the task this time and holds Rodrygo on the ball out wide on the right.

20 mins: Federico Valverde lets fly with a shot from outside the box and fizzes the ball into the hands of Stefan Ortega. Manchester City still haven’t got going yet, they’ll want more time on the ball and will be patient until they can create a strong chance at goal.

17 mins: Anything cane happen in this game now. The Real Madrid fans, silent after City’s opener, are now in full voice again as they encourage their team to score more.

14 mins: Another one!

Vinicius Junior releases Rodrygo down the left wing as Manchester City push high up the pitch. The forward sprints into space and gets tracked by Manuel Akanji.

The defender catches up as Rodrygo heads into the box. He takes a touch then sidefoots a shot at goal. Akanji sticks out a leg and deflects the ball past Stefan Ortega, again, and watches as it dribbles over the line.

12 mins: Things have settled down after that electric start. Both teams are being allowed time on the ball to operate with Real probably edging possession over these opening stages.

Dani Carvajal is given the ball on the right wing but sends it inside to Eduardo Camavinga. He checks to the left, touches the ball to the edge of the box and shoots!

The effort deflects off Ruben Dias, wrong foots Stefan Ortega and finishes in the back of the net.

8 mins: Save! Erling Haaland is fed the ball inside the penalty area and gets forced wide by Antonio Rudiger. Still, the forward gets a shot away and Real Madrid need the hands of Andriy Lunin at the near post to deny City a second goal.

5 mins: Real Madrid’s response is a good one. Federico Valverde dances up the pitch with the ball and brings it into the penalty area.

Vinicius Junior darts across the box as the pass comes to him but Josko Gvardiol sprints inside from his position on the left and puts his boot through the ball.
