Kevin De Bruyne breaks Champions League record during Man City vs Real Madrid

Manchester City's Kevin De Bruyne broke a Champions League record during an incredible start for the Blues against Real Madrid last night.

City's Belgian midfield maestro gave the hosts the lead inside the opening two minutes of the match when Riyad Mahrez sent a sumptuous ball into the Real box and De Bruyne was on the end of it to steer home a diving header.

Before ten minutes were played, De Bruyne turned provider crossing for Gabriel Jesus who held off a challenge to slot the ball past Thibaut Courtois. Karim Benzema met a Madrid cross to cut the deficit after the half-hour mark to continue an electric first half.
