Goal! Real Madrid 3, Manchester City 1. Nico González (Manchester City) left footed shot from very close range to the bottom left corner following a set piece situation. Omar Marmoush (Manchester City) hits the bar with a right footed shot from outside the box from a direct free kick.

Real Madrid have won the away first leg of a European tie on 40 occasions. If Pep Guardiola wants a sense of how hard the task ahead of them is it is perhaps encapsulated in one statistic -- only on two of the previous 39 occasions have Los Merengues been eliminated from European competition.

The second Champions League playoff match between Real Madrid and Manchester City will be played at Carlo Ancelotti’s team’s home ground. Specifically, the Santiago Bernabéu stadium, with a capacity for 78,297 spectators, will be the venue chosen for this match.
