Manchester City will take a 4-3 lead into the second leg of their Uefa Champions League semi-final against Real Madrid after an extraordinary game at the Etihad Stadium on Tuesday.
City took the lead after 94 seconds, the fastest goal scored in a Champions League semi-final, with Kevin De Bruyne's diving header.
But Real got back in the game thanks to a familiar source - Karim Benzema scoring a goal out of nothing as he guided a Ferland Mendy cross into the far, bottom corner with the most delicate of steers after 33 minutes. Two minutes later though Fernandinho was caught out as he allowed compatriot Vinicius Jr to break away past him on the touchline and the winger sprinted from halfway deep into the area before poking the ball past Ederson to make it 3-2.
