Kevin De Bruyne blast pegs Real Madrid back as Man City earn draw - 5 talking points

It's all square between Manchester City and Real Madrid in their mammoth Champions League semi-final tie after a hard-fought 1-1 draw in Tuesday's first leg.

Vinicius Junior drew first blood for the hosts at the Bernabeu with a spectacular strike, despite City's domination in the first 45 minutes. And then when Real decided to get a grip of the game, Kevin De Bruyne popped up at the other end with a stunning goal of his own to level the scores.

Erling Haaland was frustrated by a resolute Real defence, as City boasted the lion's share of possession in typical Pep Guardiola fashion but only matched the reigning champions for goals. The two teams will do it all again next Wednesday in Manchester.
