Man City vs Real Madrid LIVE: Kevin De Bruyne scores Champions ...
The Champions League quarter-final tie is in the balance after a six-goal thriller in Spain last week
Manchester City host Real Madrid in the Champions League quarter-final second leg this evening with the hopes of reaching the final four.
An electric first leg ended 3-3 in Madrid with the lead exchanging hands multiple times in an open affair. Bernardo Silva opened the scoring after two minutes before a quickfire double from Eduardo Camavinga and Rodrygo sent Real into the lead. City responded through Phil Foden and Josko Gvardiol but Federico Valverde had the final say to ensure this last eight tie remains all square ahead of tonight’s game.
Carlo Ancelotti’s men, meanwhile, will be aware of the hammering they received at the Etihad Stadium last year when City won 4-0. The manager will recall that experience to his players who will want to cause an upset tonight. Follow all the action below plus get the latest odds and tips right here:

109 mins: Madrid lost Vinicius in the first half of extra-time and will be forced into another sub now, it appears, as Carvajal hits the deck.

106 mins: And just like that, we’re back underway for the second half of extra-time.

And with that Rudiger chance spurned, the ref blows for half-time in extra-time. A quick turnaround before the second 15 minutes - are we headed for penalties?

105+2 mins: CHANCE! A huge chance for Rudiger on the brink of half-time. The centre-back ghosts between Akanji and Dias but spoons his effort over the bar.

102 mins: Vincius makes way after that tussle with Walker as Vazquez comes on in his place.
Ben Fleming17 April 2024 22:12
101 mins: That is why Walker came straight back into the starting XI tonight. Vinicius makes a burst through the middle but the right-back comes across superbly to usher him off the ball.

98 mins: That small break after full-time seems to have given Madrid a bit more encouragement. The visitors have been far more attacking in the first eight minutes of extra-time.
