The important matches keep coming for City as they travel to face Leeds United in the Premier League on Saturday. Real Madrid face Espanyol in LaLiga on the same day at home in the hope of clinching the title.

What a game! Manchester City and Real Madrid play out a 4-3 thriller at the Etihad Stadium in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final clash. City stormed into a 2-0 lead in the opening 11 minutes through goals from Kevin De Bruyne and Gabriel Jesus, but Karim Benzema brought the visitors back into the contest.

Phil Foden scored a close-range header to make it 3-1, but back came Madrid through a fine solo run and goal from Vinicius Junior.

Bernardo Silva scored the effort of the night with a screamer into the top-left corner, but there was one more twist in the tale as Benzema notched his second from the penalty spot after Aymeric Laporte handled the ball in the box. It looks to be advantage City, just, ahead of the second leg at the Bernabeu.
