Kevin De Bruyne powered home a rasping low shot from distance in a game of two wonder goals to earn Manchester City a 1-1 draw at Real Madrid and leave their Champions League semi-final finely poised after the first leg.
City dominated the match in the early stages but it was Real who took the lead as Vinicius Jr netted a brilliant strike from the edge of the area that flew like an exocet into the top-right corner with his side’s first shot on target in the 36th minute.
The hosts got back on top in the second half and took control, but it was City who scored next after they won the ball high up the pitch and it was worked to De Bruyne who rifled a shot into the net to the goalkeeper’s right.
The result leaves the tie in the balance heading into next Wednesday’s second leg in Manchester, where both teams will fancy their chances of emerging victorious.
