Follow live as Champions League holders Real Madrid face 2023 winners Manchester City in the first leg of their knockout tie

62' Manchester City 1-1 Real Madrid

That free kick, so pointless and so costly from Bernardo Silva, has brought Real Madrid back level and evaporated City's narrow lead.

Valverde powered it into the wall, cue cheers from the home fans, but Dani Ceballos collected the loose ball and Kylian Mbappe was most alert to the second phase, curving his run to stay onside and pointing to his team-mate to chip it over.

Chip it Ceballos did, over the City backline, an unaware Gvardiol playing Mbappe onside. Mbappe timed it well, running onto the high hanging ball with no defender around him and Ederson rushing out of goal to confront him.

Mbappe went airborne and tried to volley it with his boot, he didn't get it right and in fact it hit his shin and looped up, agonisingly for City and gloriously for Madrid, into the unguarded side of the goal despite the retreating Nathan Ake's efforts.

A big slice of luck.
