Real Madrid are starting to struggle to emerge

Manchester City is well organized and the Madrilenians have difficulty being truly dangerous when the Mancuniens are grouped in their camp.

BELLINGHAM!! WHAT A DAMAGE!!

Superb transition from Madrid! Rodrygo pretends to shoot but gives it to Bellingham, who arrives launched into the area, to his right. But the Englishman tries to steal his ball and it wasn’t the right choice, it goes over!

Haaland took the ball where it shouldn’t

The poor Norwegian remains on the ground for a good minute after taking the ball in the private parts. The game resumes after this short break.

Here we go again!

Real Madrid kicks off this second act.

It’s the break! Manchester City is in the lead!

Despite Rodrygo’s opener, it was Manchester City who led at half-time! The Citizens didn’t have many chances, but were effective. Rüdiger can blame himself for having offered a penalty so stupidly!

THE DOUBLE PARADE OF COURTOIS!!!

WHAT RESCUES BY THE BELGIAN DOORKEEPER!! Haaland is ideally served in the area but he hits Courtois, who returns the ball to Cherki. The Frenchman tries his luck despite the tight angle, but the goalkeeper pushes back again! Sublime!

Hallaaaaand Transforme !!

The Norwegian doesn’t need to be asked and closes his left foot to catch Courtois on the wrong foot! 2-1 for City!

PENALTY POUR CITY !!

It makes sense! Mr. Turpin did not hesitate for long as the mistake was so gross on the part of the German. He is also warned. Rüdiger was completely wrong on this one.

Let VAR check a potential penalty!

Rüdiger surrounded Haaland on a City cross. Clément Turpin is going to look at the images to get an idea!

O’REILLYYYY EQUALS!!!

Cherki hits a corner from the left towards the far post and the head of Gvardiol. Courtois is unable to catch the ball and it arrives at the feet of O’Reilley, who does not hesitate to finish from very close range. His first goal in the Champions League! 1-1!

Real Madrid are dangerous in transition!

Once again the Madrilenians are dangerous in a rapid transition! Vinicius can throw Bellingham on his left, in the area, but the ball is poorly measured and the Englishman’s cross is sent back.

RODRYGOOOOOOOO OPENS THE SCORE!!

Real Madrid takes the lead! Carreras recovers the ball at Bernardo’s feet then launches the counter. Bellingham transmits to Rodrygo, on the right, who overtakes O’Reilley before sending a perfect cross shot into the small opposite net from Donnarumma! 1-0 for Real Madrid!

The pace is back down

After a lively start, the pace dropped significantly. The two teams continue the phases of possession, but it rarely results in a shot.

Trouble between Haaland and Asencio

While the game is completely on the right side, Asencio collapses in the center after a push from Haaland. Foul and the ball is returned to Real Madrid.

The Madrilenians are asking for a hand!

Vinicius is particularly strong this evening! He makes the difference on the left of the area then crosses but it is blocked by the arm of Nunes. It’s not whistled and it’s a corner, which achieves nothing.

The beautiful little Cherki bridge on Rüdiger

The former Lyonnais is already in his works.

Yellow card for Foden

He is already warned for a trip on Rodrygo.

Vinicius cannot find the target!!

The Madrilenians go on the counter and Rodrygo sends a perfect ball towards Vinicius, to the left of the area. He gets ahead of Donnarumma, but his dive ball is off target. Particularly lively start to the match!

It’s finally a free kick!

After watching the slow motion, the foul finally took place on the edge of the area. And it will therefore be a free kick! Valverde’s shot is deflected and it will be a corner!

PENALTYYYYY FOR REAL MADRID!!

Clément Turpin points to the penalty spot after a foul on Vinicius! Nunes, carried away by the Brazilian’s hook, touches the foot of his opponent, who collapses.

IT’S GONE III!!

The Citizens kick off!

The entrance of the 22 actors!

The players appear on the Bernabéu pitch!

Real Madrid can make a nice move in the rankings

Currently 6th, three points behind Arsenal, the Madrilenians would take a serious option on the top 8 in the event of a victory this evening. With two lengths behind the Madrilenians, City could also get closer to the lead with a good result.

Mbappé does not warm up with the substitutes

The Frenchman is not even present on the pitch for the warm-up.

Manchester City haven’t won at the Bernabéu for a while

Xavi Alonso under pressure ahead of City clash

Bad period for Real Madrid before the duel against Manchester City in the Champions League. Arriving during the summer, Xabi Alonso is already the subject of harsh criticism.

What if the shock against Pep Guardiola’s Skyblues allowed him to truly launch his adventure on the Madrid bench.

Mbappé robbed of a record by Bayern’s new nugget

Author of his third goal in Bayern Munich’s last three matches in the Champions League, Lennart Karl became the youngest player to sign such a performance since 1992-1993.

The 17-year-old, 290-year-old German thus stole a record held by Kylian Mbappé (18 years and 113 days) since 2017 and his fabulous European campaign with AS Monaco.

Mbappé in the group, but still uncertain

Reduced by a broken finger and affected left knee, Kylian Mbappé is part of the Merengue group this evening. But the tenure of the French serial scorer is not yet assured.

Xabi Alonso, in great danger, receives support from Pep Guardiola

Pep Guardiola expressed his “sympathy” for his Real Madrid counterpart Xabi Alonso, threatened in the event of defeat this evening, assuring that the Spanish team was “the hardest to train”.

“Of course I have sympathy for him. We worked together for a year and a half (at Bayern Munich, Editor’s note), it was an incredible experience. We shared a lot of things. Real Madrid is the hardest team to coach. And he knows it. The pressure, the environment… Every season it’s the same thing,” Guardiola said at a press conference.

Good evening everyone
