Man City vs Real Madrid LIVE: Champions League score and goal updates as Kylian Mbappe equalises | Football

City’s legs have gone a bit here – Real are almost in again but Ederson makes the save to deny Bellingham.

Mbappe’s somehow landed one in the back of the net. He rises to meet Ceballos’ ball on the volley but he doesn’t get the sweet connection he’s after. It instead bobbles off his shin… and loops into the far corner!

Kylian Mbappe equalises with the flukiest goal you will see all night!

Good save from Ederson! Mbappe hooks a shot on goal from close range and the City goalkeeper shows super reflexes to bat it away.

City will hope to hold onto this lead when they head to Madrid for the return leg.

They won’t have long to wait – Real host Pep Guardiola’s side next week on Wednesday 19 February.

City are down another man – Nathan Ake did not emerge for the second-half with Rico Lewis onto replace him.

Haaland rattles the bar! Almost the perfect start.

There are two other fixtures underway this evening. Juventus have a one-goal lead at home to PSV Eindhoven through Weston McKennie with Sporting Lisbon holding Borussia Dortmund to a goalless draw at the break.

Paris Saint-Germain have pretty much booked their place in the last 16, beating Brest 3-0 away from home in their first leg clash earlier this evening.

That was a very nervy start for City, giving up chances at will with Vinicius winning a penalty before play was correctly pulled back for offside.

But they have been in control since with Erling Haaland finally getting his goal against Los Blancos after fine work from Jack Grealish.

The England international was forced off shortly after but City have kept their rhythm and are good value for their lead.

Mbappe, leaning back, whacks a wild effort over the bar. Should have done much better there and that will be that for the first-half.

Mbappe’s shot takes a wicked deflection and has Ederson scampering across goal in a panic. One last chance for Real before the half-time whistle goes…

Real are cranking up a bit of pressure as we approach half-time. Four minutes of injury time have been chucked on.

Close from Valverde! He is forced all the way across goal but still lets fly with a wicked effort from the edge of the box. It veers just over the bar.

Real showing a bit of life again. Rodrygo overcooks his pass a bit but Akanji still has work to do in shutting down Vinicius in the box. He sticks to his task and gets it out for a corner which City deal with.

City rack up another chance – Akanji this time rises to meet the ball from de Bruyne’s delivery but he lifts his header just over the bar.

Every single person knows what Foden is thinking as he cuts in onto that left foot. But not many can stop him. His effort isn’t quite heading towards that top corner however and Courtois makes the save.

City are winning are winning every second ball out there at the moment – it’s been a bit meek from Real since the game’s opener.

Grealish limps down the tunnel and Phil Foden is onto replace him.
