Man City, Real Madrid Draw in a Thrilling 3-3 UCL Quarter-final

Manchester City and Real Madrid could not be separated in a thrilling first-leg tie of their UEFA Champions League quarter-final, ending in a 3-3 draw.

Bernardo Silva opened the scoring for Man City with a well-placed free-kick, but Real Madrid quickly responded with goals from Ruben Dias (own goal) and Rodrygo Goes, taking a 2-1 lead into halftime.

With Antonio Rudiger shackling Erling Haaland, City got a goal from an unlikely source to lead five minutes later.

Defender Gvardiol’s ferocious bending effort from a distance left Lunin no chance and silenced the Bernabeu, but not for long.

Valverde’s brilliant volley from Vinicius’ cross zipped past Ortega to level the score and leave the game deliciously poised for the second leg on April 17. The return leg at the Etihad Stadium should be an exciting one to watch.
