Phil Dawkes

  1. Man City 2-1 Real Madrid

    That's a good diving, clearing header.

    Eder Militao leaps out to nod away the corner.

    Gabriel Jesus has looked really sharp this evening. He has looked very good in everything he's done.

  3. Man City 2-1 Real Madrid

    City applying pressure at the end of the half.

    Gabriel Jesus gives Eder Militao the slip in the box but his low cross is put behind.

    Paul: Benzema is such a good player...never truly got the plaudits he deserves.

    Wayne: As shaky as Real are at the back, you can never write them off with Benzema in this sort of form.

  5. Man City 2-1 Real Madrid

    Riyad Mahrez forces Thibaut Courtois into a save with the delivery.

    I think it might have been going past the far post but the Real keeper takes no chances.

  6. Man City 2-1 Real Madrid

    City free-kick. It's dangerous, on the right side of the Real box.

  7. Man City 2-1 Real Madrid

    City whip the ball into the box from the left and falls to Riyad Mahrez but before he can do anything with it the ref blows for a foul on Ferland Mendy by Gabriel Jesus.

  8. Real Madrid strike back

    Phil McNulty

    Never, ever discount Real Madrid when they have Karim Benzema - and when you do not take your chances.

    This tie could almost be over and yet suddenly, from nowhere, Real Madrid look alive again.

  9. Man City 2-1 Real Madrid

    Alan Shearer
    Former England striker on BBC Radio 5 Live

    I think Fernandinho is dropping into the right-back role. I know what I'd be doing if I was a Real Madrid player. I'd be wanting to get the ball out to Rodrygo and Vinicius Junior out wide as much as possible.

  10. Man City 2-1 Real Madrid

    This game is twisting and turning like a twisty turny thing.

  11. Man City 2-1 Real Madrid

    Vinicius Junior will be demanding the ball now. Real need to let him get at Fernandinho.

  12. Man City 2-1 Real Madrid

    Another blow for City.

    John Stones is forced off. Fernandinho is his replacement. The midfielder now filling in at right-back.

  13. Man City 2-1 Real Madrid

    Suddenly, this is a contest.

    Real work space and territory for Rodrygo and he forces Ederson to palm behind with an angled shot.

    From the corner, Eder Militao heads over.

  14. Man City 2-1 Real Madrid

    How can you not love the Champions League?

  15. Man City 2-1 Real Madrid

    Alan Shearer
    Former England striker on BBC Radio 5 Live

    A brilliant cross and again a fantastic finish from Karim Benzema. He gets in front of Oleksandr Zinchenko. It's poor defending from him but a fantastic finish.

  16. goal

    GOAL - Man City 2-1 Real Madrid

    Karin Benzema

    Who else?

    From nowhere, Karim Benzema drags Real right back into this.

    Ferland Mendy's cross doesn't look hugely threatening at first, but that doesn't account for the class of Benzema, who turns it inside the far post with a beautiful cushion finish.

    What a player.

  17. Man City 2-0 Real Madrid

    After barely touching the ball for the first 15 minutes, Real are showing more now. City doing a decent job for the most part of forcing them backwards, though.

    #bbcfootball

    Scott: Madrid's midfield is MIA. Pep has got his tactics spot on.

    Andrew: What a selfish, selfish decision by Mahrez right there. That was a tap-in for Foden had Mahrez thought of the team instead of himself.

  20. Man City 2-0 Real Madrid

    Now Oleksandr Zinchenko fires a shot wide of the post. It was from range and struck well, but just not quite accurately enough.
