    Anon: Rudiger vs Haaland is a great contest. I wonder how Jude Bellingham will fare against Joelinton next season.

    Federico Valverde beats Manuel Akanji on the right and manages to squeeze a cross in but it won't reach Karim Benzema.

    Eduardo Camavinga is then brought down by Bernardo Silva.

    Man City have taken control of the football match, they are dictating the pace.

    Manuel Akanji gets across well to stop Dani Carvajal breaking on the left and Jack Grealish is there to help him mop up.

    Antonio Rudiger heads away Kevin de Bruyne's clipped cross. He's seeing much more of the ball now and City are moving it around quicker.

    "Blue Moon" rings out from the away section at the Bernabeu.

    Erling Haaland holds off Antonio Rudiger and wins a free-kick on the left. He smiles as he leaves the ball for Kevin de Bruyne.

    It's curled in deep towards John Stones but he can't keep it in play.

    Pep obviously saw the message from Peer at 21:26.

    David Alaba has a go and gets plenty of pace on the strike but it's always rising.

    Nick: I still don’t think KDB gets the recognition as one of the best players in the world, if not the best. He’s pure class unparalleled.

    Simon: 1.5 seconds before KDB scores I said out loud he's not done much yet! What a player, what a finish.

    Anon: Boom!!!! KDB take a bow.

    Ilkay Gundogan gives it away cheaply on the edge of the box, turning into Dani Carvajal and fouling him afterwards.

    He gets a yellow card too and apologises to his team-mates, who will need to defend this free-kick.

    Well, Kevin de Bruyne is such a talented player and he has had a quiet evening.

    That's what he is capable of. It's a great strike along the floor. Fantastic technique.

    I don't think Thibaut Courtois saw it very well.

    Amid all the celebrations, Carlo Ancelotti has been shown a yellow card for complaining and Luka Modric has had a telling off from the referee. Real Madrid are unhappy about something!

    Kevin de Bruyne (67 mins)

    What a strike!

    Whatever Vinicius Junior can do, Kevin de Bruyne can too.

    Rodri wins the ball back outside the box, lays it off to Jack Grealish and he picks out De Bruyne.

    He smashes it into the bottom left corner from a long way out. No chance for Thibaut Courtois.

    Toni Kroos goes tumbling as Kevin de Bruyne sticks out a leg to reach the ball but pulls it away.

    The referee again waves play on.

    Peer: Perhaps City could start shooting from outside the box like Madrid, instead of wanting to try walk the ball into the goal. Old Barcelona problem here.

    Luka Modric drifts into space and isn't tracked. He finds Eduardo Camavinga, who tees up Karim Benzema, but his shot is blocked.

    Vinicius Junior then flicks it into the box and there's appeals again for a penalty as John Stones gets a touch on it. Nothing in it.

    Excellent feet from Rodrygo to dance past Manuel Akanji and win a corner.

    Antonio Rudiger gets his head on it but it's cleared by City.

    Kevin de Bruyne's curling cross is inches away from Bernardo Silva at the back post.

    Huge appeals by Real Madrid for a penalty. Karim Benzema pulls it back to Federico Valverde and Jack Grealish blocks it. They think it's hit his arm. VAR isn't having a look.

    Man City need to freshen it up, they've gone a bit stale

    Pep Guardiola has had the subs warming up for a while now and he needs to change it.
