Esteemed Kompany host Steven Mcinerney reacts to the chaos that was Manchester City’s 3-all draw with Real Madrid. A modern-day classic unfolded at the Bernabeu. The draw sets up a riveting second leg next week at the Etihad Stadium.
An instant classic unfolded between two of the premier teams in Europe. City took an early lead through a piece of Bernardo Silva magic before chaos descended on the contest. A quick fire double from Real Madrid gave them the lead in the 14th minute. In the first half, it could be argued that Real Madrid had the game on their terms given the way it unfolded.
The second half was a different story as Manchester City controlled possession. It took two pieces of magic from Phil Foden and Josko Gvardiol midway through the second half to give the European champions a 3-2 lead. A piece of brilliance from Federico Valverde levelled proceedings for Real Madrid in the 78th minute. Valverde’s goal ensured the game finished 3-all.
The result sets up the tie for Manchester City to attempt to finish the tie at the Etihad Stadium next week. While Real Madrid will be no pushovers, Pep Guardiola’s side will fancy their chances of getting a positive result at home.
