Kevin De Bruyne scored a stunner in the 67th minute to ensure Manchester City played a 1-1 draw with Real Madrid in their UEFA Champions League semi-final first-leg match at the Santiago Bernabeu on Tuesday night.
De Bruyne’s stunner levelled for Manchester City
The Belgian levelled for City after Vinicius Jnr had given Real Madrid the lead in the 36th minute after beating Ederson Moraes from a distance.
Pep Guardiola’s side dominated the early stages at a nervy Bernabeu, with Thibaut Courtois denying De Bruyne, Rodri and Erling Haaland twice.
But Vinicius Jr scored with Real’s only chance of the first half, a 25-yard thunderbolt which flew past Ederson following a brilliant run by Eduardo Camavinga.
Vinicius gave Real Madrid the lead in the first half
As Real began to dominate the second half, City found a way back with De Bruyne fizzing a shot from a similar distance into the bottom corner.
Karim Benzema almost gave Real, looking to extend their record tally to 15th European crowns, the lead again, but Ederson saved his header.
