Erling Haaland finally strikes
Manchester City have deserved that goal. Certainly Jeremy Doku has deserved to be part of it. He has been relentless, running at Real. It was scarcely a smooth finish by Erling Haaland but he has just his fifth goal in 19 games.

Manchester City 1-1 Real Madrid, 43 minutes
1-4 on aggregate, then, so still a load for Manchester City to do. Erling Haaland seemed slightly unsure on how to react to that goal, eventually deciding to follow the ball into the back of the net for a speedy retrieval and restart.

GOAL! MANCHESTER CITY 1-1 Real Madrid (Erling Haaland, 42 minutes)
And that’s the goal they needed! It’s not the finest finish that Erling Haaland will ever produce but they all count, the striker jabbing in from close range slightly awkwardly after a deflected cross.
It was excellent work from Jeremy Doku in the build-up, the Belgian writhing to the by-line and then getting a ball in. Hope for the hosts?

It’s the travelling band of Real Madrid fans making most of the noise at the moment. Manchester City won’t give up hope, though.

Pep Guardiola slumps in his seat
Since being booked a little earlier, Pep Guardiola has spent much of his time slumped back on his seat, either feeling the tie is over or regretting his choice of shirt. Possibly both.

Manchester City 0-1 Real Madrid, 37 minutes
That’s a better save from Gianluigi Donnarumma. Sweet feet from Brahim Diaz break the ankles of near namesake Ruben Dias, leaving the defender on his backside with his head on a swivel. Donnarumma is surer of footing and of hand, blocking the resultant effort away.

Manchester City 0-1 Real Madrid, 35 minutes
A drive from Aurelien Tchouameni takes a little flick on the way through to Gianluigi Donnarumma. The Italian deals well with the deflection.

Manchester City 0-1 Real Madrid, 33 minutes
This really has been a corking contest. You sense, though, that Manchester City’s intensity will surely lag at some stage – both with the loss of their captain and a key midfielder, and as the scale of their situation becomes clearer as time ticks by. Spurning those early chances feels so key.
