Yeah, I just keep a clean sheet against Man City because I just always feel they'll score.
They've got the firepower to get a goal.
I agree with Crouch. I've only got to keep a clean sheet, take a clean sheet back.
Have you seen that happening?
With Laporte it's a better chance, but City have been fairly unpredictable at times.
So, I don't know. A clean sheet, I'll be happy for City if they get that.
Well, here we go. Real Madrid versus Manchester City.
Steven Manneman and Darren Fletcher are in the commentary box.
You really couldn't be anywhere better for a game like this tonight.
It's City's first game here in Madrid since the semi-final four years ago.
But it's not the line-up we were expecting tonight.
Some of the biggest names in world football have been left out by Zidane and Guardiola.
It's a fascinating development.
Well, there are three changes for Real Madrid tonight and no Gareth Bale or Eden Hazard.
Tonight, Steven Manneman won the Champions League twice with Real Madrid.
He's alongside me tonight.
Steve, this one's fascinating, particularly with the Manchester City line-up.
Yeah, absolutely, Fletcher. I think that's bamboozled us all.
We all thought they'd be completely different to what is on show for City tonight.
And then Barcelona on Sunday.
Here's Kovacic.
Dictating the play. He's their best player.
Went for it. Mendy got there first.
Here's Varane with a chance. He's not a natural finisher.
And he skies the first real goal attempt from Real Madrid high over the bar.
Yeah, good play between Vinicius and...
A goal kick to Real Madrid.
There was a reluctance there for Mahrez to cross it because there was only one in the box.
It was Gabriel Jesus.
And you wonder what's going to pan out here over the 90 minutes in the first leg.
Here's Kevin De Bruyne.
Gabriel Jesus. Good opportunity for Manchester City.
And the first big save by Thibaut Courtois.
And then Mendy took no chances to get it behind for the corner.
That was a lot better from Manchester City.
Yeah, really good from Manchester City. Lovely and quick.
And when you do things quick, you cut through teams.
Ball into De Bruyne, a turn into Jesus.
Is he onside? Debatable, doesn't matter.
Cut in on his right foot. Sorry, too easy.
Rafa Varane lets him come inside the pitch.
Courtois, good save.
Drilled in by Mahrez, defended in there for Real Madrid by Sergio Ramos.
Here's Vinicius.
Thinks absolutely right.
A little step over by De Bruyne,
who was then able to get on the little lay-off from Mahrez but couldn't find the finish.
Yeah, the angle was not good for Manchester City.
Obviously a yellow card here for Mendy for the foul on Modric.
There wasn't much in that, was there? Yes, it was a foul, the ball was going out of play.
Very quick to brandish the card.
It's a big yellow card for him to receive.
Here's Real Madrid's Mendy Furlan with the cross in towards Benzema!
What a save!
And then what an opportunity for Vinicius to tap it in and he couldn't do it.
Brilliant save, plunging to his right by Ederson,
but only Vinicius knows how he didn't tap it in.
The first big scare tonight for Manchester City.
Yeah, and he was not glamorous about it, was he?
It was just a simple cross in by Fer.
The first big scare tonight...
...opportunity so far tonight for Manchester City.
Bernardo Silva...
...considerably right before the game.
I mentioned two of the most attacked players.
...Ramos, who was challenged by Kevin De Bruyne,
who then fouls Mendy.
Yeah, he just gets his body in the way, Mendy, and stops Sissi.
...his players to implement whatever style they've set themselves up as.
Sissi here to do anything but keep the ball,
and then they're quickening it towards Jesus for Real Madrid.
Nor has this man, Isco.
Valverde then runs it to Benzema.
Yeah, the referees pulled it up, saying Mar has got in the way.
Obstructed.
Freddy Valverde, let's have a look.
There.
No, there's nothing in that, was there, really, again?
Lots of Mendy's gone forward.
It's been a difficult first half for Real Madrid.
The one opportunity for them, the Benzema header that was saved by Edison,
and then Vinicius on the follow-up fell over the ball.
But he's got his tactics spot on tonight.
Forty-five minutes.
They're certainly not as free-flying as the Real Madrid in recent seasons.
...Betis in November and Athletic Bilbao in December,
and they didn't score.
The ball's come out.
Given away.
The counts are tackled now for Manchester City,
led by the energetic Kevin De Bruyne.
Here's Riyad Mahrez.
Cutting in and shooting!
And just missing.
Well, it was set up brilliantly for the counter-attack there for Manchester City.
And how often have you seen Mahrez work the ball onto his left foot and bend one in?
Yeah, it's given away by Kasem.
Moura, Luka, Modric.
There's two of the midfielders now for Real Madrid on the yellow card tonight.
And none of them, though, threatened with...
He's got it behind, he's got nobody to play it to.
Vinicius had to go himself.
And in the end, he tripped himself up.
The crowd were appealing for a penalty, but it was all his own work, I'm afraid.
Yeah, of course it was.
It's a lovely turn by Mahrez and the shot.
Here's Mahrez looking to sneak in behind.
Manages to pull it down and shoot!
Courtois has to make another save.
All of a sudden, Mahrez is posing.
Now there are white shirts in the middle.
Walkers' header.
Isco challenges.
Jorge Juz headed away by Carvajal.
Fernandinho with the hit.
It's Rodri.
A little bit sloppy there, although Walkers got the speed to bail them out, has he?
Here's Vinicius.
Here's Isco.
What a chance!
And he scores!
Well, Manchester City have been so good tonight,
but they paid the price for the first big mistake.
And Isco scores his third goal of the season
to lighten up the Bernabeu.
It's Real Madrid 1-0 Manchester City.
And it came from absolutely nothing.
Real Madrid have got away with one tonight.
Because it was a couple of mistakes from Manchester City.
First here, Rodrigo and Otamendi.
It's stolen and Kyle Walker has to clear his lines.
He wants to play a couple of passes.
Vinicius does really well.
Has one touch.
Picks out his teammates.
He's in a much better position.
Isco.
One touch.
Slides it past Ederson.
Real Madrid against the run of the play.
A one-off.
Well, I think we all have the feeling that it might take something like that
to provide the impetus for Real Madrid.
Isco's not a regular goal scorer,
but he couldn't really miss from there.
And Manchester City pay the price for defensive sloppiness.
And Real Madrid have a priceless opening goal here
in this first leg in Madrid.
It came at a time as well, Steve,
where Manchester City were starting to dominate.
Well, this is what's incredible about Champions League football.
If you don't keep your concentration...
De Bruyne playing it through to Chezou.
Well, it's just to find some space and deliver the cross,
although Dani Carvajal was covering the near post.
Benzema's in.
He is in the middle.
In goes the cross.
Held on to it here now.
Mendy.
Isco.
Ramos was waiting.
Ramos!
Blocked by Fernandinho again.
Brilliant block.
Brilliant by Real Madrid these last few minutes.
Far post to Isco.
One shot.
Pulls it back to...
Raheem Sterling.
Opportunity here for Kevin De Bruyne.
Immediately surrounded by white shirts.
Into Chezou!
Oh, he's squeezed it in!
What a big goal that is for Gabriel Chezou!
It's an away goal in the Bernabeu for Manchester City.
It's vital.
It's Real Madrid won.
Manchester City won.
Yeah, Real Madrid are complaining that there's a push in the back
by Gabriel Chezou.
Kevin De Bruyne is just lovely here.
Flips it in.
There.
Arms are in the air.
Just there.
But it's in the back of the net.
I also think Courtois should have saved it.
Maybe I'm wrong.
Maybe I'm too harsh on the keepers.
But VAR are certainly going to have a look at it, I think.
As it flies back into the net and Chezou gets his reward.
They come again now, trying to get Sterling in.
Well, that's like the pin in the balloon.
And it goes into the middle again towards Chezou,
who couldn't quite keep the header down.
It's Rotary.
Kevin De Bruyne.
Sterling takes on Carvajal and goes down.
Penalty!
Penalty to Manchester City
following Dani Carvajal's challenge on Raheem Sterling.
I didn't think it looked like a penalty.
I thought he went down before the contact.
But I am a long way away.
Raheem Sterling attacks Dani Carvajal.
I thought he was falling over, but he doesn't get it, does he?
No, it's a real...
The referee's trying to get the players out of the penalty area
before De Bruyne can take it, just to add to the tension.
Up he steps and scores!
The captain delivers in Madrid for Manchester City.
It's Real Madrid 1, Manchester City 2.
And they're in dreamland now in the Bernabeu.
Yeah, and how quickly the game turns around.
Lovely penalty by Kevin De Bruyne.
He's a great striker, the ball, isn't he?
And he just drags it into that bottom corner.
It just shows you, when you put your best players on the pitch,
you get instant rewards.
And Raheem Sterling, so positive, just driving at Dani Carvajal.
Wins the pen, and that's the result.
Just drags it.
Great strike, 2-1 City.
What a place to score your 50th goal for Manchester City.
In this stadium, on this occasion, in a game of this size.
Manchester City in the Champions League.
Jesus has managed to nick it.
Ramos is the last man.
Down goes Jesus.
What does the referee do here?
I think he's to high-flex, hasn't he?
Just give a free kick.
Right on the edge of the penalty area.
Now, what does he do with Ramos?
He's reaching for the top pocket.
It's red.
Sergio Ramos is sent off for the 26th time as a Real Madrid player.
The captain sees red, and the night goes from bad to worse for Zinedine Zidane.
That's turned into an absolute disaster.
At the ball, it's Riyad Mahrez, and it was into the arm.
At half-time, they were comfortable, and then to fall behind the way they did.
He can put the icing on it for them, maybe.
Still Sterling, straight to court.
They're forwarding numbers here.
It's still Riyad Mahrez.
Wow.
In goes the cross in towards him.
Mendy coming in, never got anything on it.
Maybe, should have done better.
Yeah.
Benzema.
It's an awful ball.
Full-time whistle, Steve.
It's Manchester City's night.
It's an historic victory for them.
Their first ever win against the most successful club side in Europe,
and it's a win that puts them in control of the time.
They had to work hard for it.
Tactically, Pep Guardiola got it spot on tonight,
but they did find themselves behind.
Vinicius capitalizing on a mistake to Thiabisco for the goal.
Fernandinho made two vital blocks to keep the score at 1-0
before the fight back came.
Gabriel Jesus for the header,
and then Carvajal's foul on Sterling,
and the penalty coolly tucked away by Kevin De Bruyne,
and the misery for Real Madrid compounded
by a late red card for their captain Sergio Ramos
that means he's going to miss the second leg.
The downsides for City tonight.
Mendy suspended for the game in Manchester.
Aymeric Laporte went off injured,
but it's a night that Manchester City will never forget.
They've come to the Bernabeu, and they've beaten Real Madrid.
Full-time, Real 1, Manchester City 2.
Pep Guardiola has staged yet another victory in the Bernabeu.
He had many, of course, for Barcelona,
but this one will be special in the Champions League
to come from behind as well
to win the home ground of the team
that have won it more than anybody else.
