Manchester City Draw 3-3 With Real Madrid in Champions League
Epic Encounter at Bernabeu
A Thriller in Madrid
In a pulsating Champions League quarter-final first leg, Manchester City and Real Madrid played out a breathtaking 3-3 draw at the Santiago Bernabeu on Tuesday evening.
Manchester City started brightly, taking the lead through Kevin De Bruyne in the 2nd minute. However, Real Madrid responded with three consecutive goals from Karim Benzema, Vinicius Junior, and Rodrygo to take a 3-1 advantage before halftime.
After the break, City fought back with goals from Phil Foden and Riyad Mahrez to equalize and secure a vital away draw. The result leaves the tie finely poised ahead of the second leg in Manchester next week.
The match was a testament to the attacking quality of both teams, as they created numerous chances throughout the 90 minutes. Real Madrid's attacking trio of Benzema, Vinicius Junior, and Rodrygo were particularly dangerous, while City's midfield maestro Kevin De Bruyne orchestrated their attacking play with aplomb.
The draw means that both teams will have it all to play for in the second leg at the Etihad Stadium on April 16th. Manchester City will be confident of their chances of progressing, having scored three away goals, but Real Madrid will be buoyed by their impressive performance at home.
