Real Madrid and Manchester City added another chapter to their growing UEFA Champions League rivalry with an exciting 3-3 draw at the Santiago Bernabeu in the first leg of their quarterfinal match.
Federico Valverde’s impressive volley for Madrid, along with goals from Phil Foden and Josko Gvardiol for City in the second half, left the tie evenly poised as they head to Manchester for the return leg on Wednesday.
City delivered a strong performance in their 4-0 win over Real Madrid in last season’s semifinals, but Madrid has made key additions since then and will be looking to make an impact.
“[City] are treble winners, an amazing team. But we are a pretty good team ourselves,” said Real’s Jude Bellingham in a pre-match press conference. “We trust in ourselves and the ability in the changing room.”
Here is a look at the team news and confirmed lineups for the second leg.
