    Phil Foden should have scored! This game should be nearly over. City could be 4-0 up in this tie. Real Madrid are committing so many men forward they are barely leaving anyone behind. Should be 4-0.

    Real are getting chances.

    A cross into the City box is flicked on by David Alaba but just past the far post. Could so easily have been 2-1.

    To be honest, it could easily be 5-3.

    Man City 2-0 Real Madrid

    Chances at both ends. City give the ball away again, but Real can't take advantage.

    City then break down the field and Kevin de Bruyne's brilliant pass releases Phil Foden. The England man fires a low shot across goal and just past the post.

    No way does this end 2-0.

    Kevin De Bruyne (2') has scored the fastest goal in the Champions League semi-finals.

    City (11') have also equalled the fastest 2-0 lead in a Champions League semi-final.

    Manchester United were 2-0 up at Arsenal on 5 May 2009 (3-1 win)

    Riyad Mahrez shouldn't have gone for the top right corner, it's a simple as that. If he had picked his head up, he'd have seen that Phil Foden was free to his left and he's got a tap-in. Pep Guardiola is going berzerk on the touchline for that exact reason.

    Should be 3-0!

    City break again and Riyad Mahrez is set on the right side of the box. He fires his shot but slices it slightly and into the side-netting.

    Oooof. Breathe again City.

    Ederson plays a low ball to Ruben Dias, who is tackled by Karim Benzema to send the ball to Vinicius Junior. His pass back towards Benzema cannons off Diaz's boot and deflects onto the base of the post.

    The flag then goes up. But for a moment that was panic stations.

    That's what Real Madrid need to do - what they're doing now - just keep hold of the ball for a few minutes. Every time they've had it so far they've given it away and invited Manchester City to keep the pressure on.

    'Come on City' sing the home fans. They sense their side could end this tie tonight.

    Every City attack looks like bringing a goal.

    A reminder that Real are 15 points clear at the top of La Liga.

    Oleksandr Zinchenko tackles Rodrygo to stop a Real attack and immediately sets Kevin de Bruyne off in the other direction. His pass for Gabriel Jesus just has a bit too much on it an David Alaba mops up.

    MS: Benzema loves a challenge...right?

    Sam: If only Madrid had an experienced world class winger who’s won 3 UCL’s on the bench…

    Kaushik: The only thing which can save Real Madrid is a pinch Modric and a sprinkle of Benzema.

    Kevin de Bruyne's corner is just too high for the rising John Stones.

    Phil Foden fires an angled shot from just inside the box that is blocked.

    Real Madrid look sluggish and slow in possession. Manchester City are controlling everything at the minute.

  16. Postpublished at 20 mins

    Man City 2-0 Real Madrid

    The City movement is something else.

    John Stones and Oleksandr Zinchenko are both coming inside, receiving the ball, laying it off to rotating midfielders and forwards. It's a merry-go-round and Real are completely bamboozled by it.

    Owen: Stones just casually receiving the ball in acres of space in Madrid's final third, less than 15 minutes into a Champions League semi-final.

    Sure.

    BBC Sport chief football writer at Etihad Stadium

    Real Madrid looked like they had a bit of a glass jaw in the quarter-final second leg against Chelsea in The Bernabeu when they went 3-0 down before recovering but Manchester City have inflicted a couple of very heavy blows here and the Spanish giants are reeling.

  19. Postpublished at 18 mins

    Oh, first real threat from Real!

    Vinicius Junior's angled shot from close range is deflected wide. Karim Benzema set him up and is furious he didn't get a pass back in the box.

    What a touch that was to control it. There is nobody in there but the timing of the run... Real Madrid can't cope with the pace and the intensity. They are all over the place! They can't handle it at the minute.
