Events
Match Events
- 0' Here we go! The referee blows the whistle and Manchester City FC launch into their encounter with Real Madrid CF.
- 5' Real Madrid CF fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
- 9' Raheem Sterling does the damage! The net is bulging and Manchester City FC surge ahead!
- 14' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 19' It looks surprising Manchester City FC does not make any changes. Rodrygo has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 24' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Manchester City FC and Real Madrid CF are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
- 28' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Karim Benzema makes it 1-1.
- 33' Federico Valverde has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 38' Manchester City FC seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
- 43' Manchester City FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Real Madrid CF backline.
- 48' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Zinedine Zidane will be considering his options from the bench.
- 53' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Ferland Mendy suffering a number of foals already.
- 58' The energy levels are beginning to show. Zinedine Zidane might look to freshen things up shortly.
- 61' Marco Asensio is replacing Rodrygo for the Real Madrid CF side.

- 67' Time for substitution for Manchester City FC. Phil Foden is replaced by Bernardo Silva.
- 68' Gabriel Jesus does the damage! The net is bulging and Manchester City FC surge ahead!
- 73' Both keepers have barely been tested. Manchester City FC and Real Madrid CF are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 78' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 81' The referee shows Real Madrid CF player a Yellow card on 81.
- 81' The Manchester City FC bench stirs into life. Raheem Sterling is withdrawn and David Silva gets his opportunity.
- 83' Fresh legs for Real Madrid CF! Lucas Vazquez comes on to replace Dani Carvajal.
- 88' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
- 89' The Manchester City FC bench stirs into life. Rodri is withdrawn and Nicolas Otamendi gets his opportunity.
- 2-1 the final result. Real Madrid CF will be bitterly disappointed.
