20:33

GOAL: Real Madrid 2-3 Man City (Gvardiol)

Another stunner! From an unlikely source!

20:32, 69′

Real Madrid 2-2 Man City

Feels like a very different tie now.

Man City now look to have the control they were missing in the first half.

20:28

GOAL: Real Madrid 2-2 Man City (Foden)

What a hit! Foden to the rescue!

An unstoppable effort from Man City’s in-form star brings the defending champions level.

Bernardo Silva lays the ball off to Foden centrally and the England man does the rest.

One touch out of his feet, before bending a stunning effort into the top corner.

Unsaveable.

20:27

Real Madrid 2-1 Man City

Rodri is less than half an hour away from seeing his unbeaten run, which is now over a year, come to an end.

Real Madrid seem content to let Man City have possession and hit them on the break.

20:24, 60′

Ladyman: ‘Rodri looks shot to pieces’

Ian Ladyman, Mail Sport Football Editor and host of the ‘It’s All Kicking Off’ Podcast, at the Bernabeu:

Rodri looks shot to pieces. Like’s he’s run into some kind of physical and psychological wall. It’s very odd.

20:22, 56′

Real Madrid 2-1 Man City

How big a moment could this be?

Vinicius Junior is found breaking into the Man City box by Rodrygo, but fails to find the target.

The Brazilian star fails to find the target, firing over the crossbar.

Against Man City missed chances like that could be costly.

20:20, 55′

Real Madrid 2-1 Man City

Another opportunity for the home fans to grumble at the referee with another Man City free kick.

Grealish delivers this one but Rodri can only head over under pressure.

20:18, 54′

Real Madrid 2-1 Man City

Not far wide from Jude Bellingham.

The Real Madrid star drags a shot wide of the far post after a body swerve sends two Man City defenders the wrong way in the box.

20:15

Ladyman: ‘This Real Madrid crowd complain about everything’

Ian Ladyman, Mail Sport Football Editor and host of the ‘It’s All Kicking Off’ Podcast, at the Bernabeu:

This Real Madrid crowd complain about everything, absolutely everything. And there are 80,000 of them.

It makes it so hard to referee but Frenchman François Letexie is having a good night so far.

20:13, 50′

Real Madrid 2-1 Man City

Fingers pointed at Grealish by some Real Madrid players after he wins a free kick. Definitely a foul.

Silva attempts a repeat from the first half, albeit a far more central free kick.

This one is straight into the Real Madrid wall.

20:11, 48′

Real Madrid 2-1 Man City

A first sighter for Man City in the second half.

Bernardo Silva picks out Grealish in space on the left flank.

Grealish attempts to replicate De Bruyne’s opening goal against Crystal Palace at the weekend, trying to whip a right foot shot into the top corner.

His effort goes over the top. A positive start to the half for City.

20:07, 46′

SECOND HALF: Real Madrid 2-1 Man City

No changes for either side at the break.

Will be interesting to see what tweaks have been made.

20:05

Plenty for Pep to ponder

A difficult night so far for Man City.

What does Pep Guardiola have up his sleeve?

The cameras pick out Kevin De Bruyne making his way to the bench as the two teams emerge for the second half.

How well is he?

20:03

Haaland takes a blow from the referee!

Oops.

Erling Haaland has been kept at arm’s length by Real Madrid in the first half.

The Man City star took a blow from the referee for his troubles at half-time.

At least Haaland stayed on his feet.

20:00

Real Madrid’s equaliser credited as Dias own goal

Real Madrid’s first goal has gone down as a Ruben Dias own goal.

Camavinga’s wait for a Champions League goal goes on.

Sure Dias will be thrilled with that as well.

19:53, 45′

HALF-TIME: Real Madrid 2-1 Man City

What a brilliant half of football.

Real Madrid fans would have been fearing a repeat of last season’s drubbing at the hands of Man City after falling behind two minutes in.

Two goals in three minutes, aided by two deflections, sees Real Madrid take a 2-1 lead into the break.

More of the same please in the second half!

19:50, 45′

Real Madrid 2-1 Man City

Into three mintues of added time at the end of a half that has flown by.

A spell of Man City possession fails to result in anything of note, as Real Madrid snuff out the attack.

19:49

Watch: Real Madrid’s stunning turnaround

Real Madrid were stunned early on by Bernardo Silva, but it was some response from the 14-time winners.

Camavinga brought Real level with his deflected effort from distance.

Just minutes later Rodrygo put the hosts ahead.

Here is how they did it.

19:45, 41′

Real Madrid 2-1 Man City

Man City are having all sorts of problems down their right side.

Vinicius Junior races at the City backline but his right foot shot it straight down the throat of Ortega.

He will be disappointed with that effort.

Every Real Madrid attack down that side makes the absnence of Kyle Walker look increasingly important.

19:43, 39′

Real Madrid 2-1 Man City

One yellow card apiece now.

Manuel Akanji is the first Man City player to have his name taken following a foul on Vinicius Junior.

Took a lot longer than Tchouameni to get booked.

19:41, 37′

‘Man City have no control of this game’

Ian Ladyman, Mail Sport Football Editor and host of the ‘It’s All Kicking Off’ Podcast, at the Bernabeu:

This is not like a Champions League first leg tie. It’s like a next goal wins game of park football.

At the moment, Real Madrid look the more likely to score it. They have had six shots on target already. Two have gone in and the others have been good chances.

City have absolutely no control of this game. When do we ever say that about the treble winners?

19:38

Real Madrid 2-1 Man City

Jude Bellingham is in the wars.

A couple of minutes after taking a blow from England team-mate Phil Foden, he is down after a challenge by Ruben Dias.

Nothing wrong with Dias’ challenge.

Bellingham is down as Real Madrid build another attack, but is soon back on his feet.

19:36

Real Madrid 2-1 Man City

Chances at both ends.

Grealish has an effort brilliantly blocked by Tchouameni at one end and Real Madrid break at speed.

Vinicius Jnr teases the Man City defence out on the left before teeing up Rodrygo.

He cuts across the ball and it whistles wide of the target.

Real Madrid look so vibrant coming forward.

19:34, 30′

Real Madrid 2-1 Man City

Rodrygo continues to pose a major threat out on the Real Madrid left.

The Brazilian goes in search of his second of the night cutting in and testing Ortega.

Safe hands from the Man City goalkeeper.

19:31, 27′

Ladyman: ‘Real Madrid having far too much joy in City’s half’

Ian Ladyman, Mail Sport Football Editor and host of the ‘It’s All Kicking Off’ Podcast, at the Bernabeu:

Real Madrid – as we feared – are having far too much joy when they have the ball in the City half. They are finding pockets of space on which to work and that is leading to shots and half chances

For City, it’s about hanging in there at the moment as the next goal is obviously crucial in the context of the night and the tie.

Up front Erling Haaland is having one of those nights when he just isn’t in the game. Roy Keane – who recently likened his build-up play to that of a League Two player – will doubtless have a view…

19:26, 22′

Real Madrid 2-1 Man City

Man City are attempting to restore some calm with the visitors dominating the ball for the last couple of minutes.

The whistles from the Real Madrid fans are back.

19:22, 18′

Real Madrid 2-1 Man City

Real Madrid keep on coming.

Valverde tries his luck and forces a save from Ortega.

The hosts are shooting on sight and it has worked so far.

19:17, 14′

GOAL: Real Madrid 2-1 Man City (Rodrygo)

Astonishing.

The crazy start continues as Rodrygo puts Real Madrid ahead, with the aid of another deflection.

The Brazilian is sent racing through on the Man City goal but still has a lot of work to do.

Rodrygo is tracked by two Man City defenders and the onrushing Ortega. His low effort takes a slight nick and squirms into the bottom corner.

City are stunned.

19:15, 12′

GOAL: Real Madrid 1-1 Man City (Camavinga)

I did say this would not stay 1-0!

A huge slice of luck for Real Madrid as Camavinga brings the hosts level.

The Frenchman lines one up from distance and it takes a wicked deflection off Ruben Dias and flies past a helpless Ortega in the Man City goal!

19:13, 10′

Ladyman: ‘City’s goal born of some classic Jack Grealish football’

Ian Ladyman, Mail Sport Football Editor and host of the ‘It’s All Kicking Off’ Podcast, at the Bernabeu:

That City goal was born of some classic Jack Grealish football.

The City forward got on the front foot and drove straight through the heart of the Real Madrid midfield, drawing a rather desperate foul from Aurelien Tchoumameni. From the resulting free kick, City scored…

Incredible start here. Home crowd already piling the pressure on the French referee but they’ve had no change out of him so far.

19:11, 7′

Real Madrid 0-1 Man City

The frantic start continues.

Haaland is denied with a shot from the angle by Lunin, but Man City keep coming.

Grealish has a shot blocked in the crowd and Real Madrid scramble the ball to safety.

I’ll be amazed if this stays at 1-0.

19:10, 5′

Real Madrid 0-1 Man City

Real Madrid look for an instant response with Bellingham and Vinicius leading the charge forward.

The hosts want a free kick when Bellingham goes down under a challenge.

Vinicius blocks a clearance that goes behind for a goal kick.

19:04, 2′

GOAL: Real Madrid 0-1 Man City (Silva)

What a start for Man City!

The defending champions lead in Madrid two minutes. Bernardo Silva goes for goal direct from the free kick.

His low effort beats the wall and the dive of Lunin in the Real Madrid goal.

It is poor from Lunin, who should have done much better.

The Bernabeu is silenced as Silva races away in celebration.

19:04, 1′

Real Madrid 0-0 Man City

Blimey.

Tchouameni is in the book after 40 seconds after chopping down Jack Grealish.

He is now ruled out of the second leg through suspension.

19:02, 1′

KICK OFF: Real Madrid 0-0 Man City

We are underway in Madrid.

Whistles greet the first Man City touches.

19:01

Time for the Champions League anthem!

Some love though between Guardiola and Ancelotti as the two coaches exhange words ahead of kick-off after the Champions League anthems play.

We are almost ready to go!

This should be a cracker!

19:00

Guardiola takes the heat as the former Barcelona coach returns to Madrid

Mail Sport’s Jack Gaughan at the Bernabeu:

Some real heat for Pep Guardiola when the PA announcer read his name out.

Never going to win too many friends around here!

18:58
