Man City and Real Madrid Draw 3-3 in Thrilling Champions League Clash

Real Madrid Secure Last-Minute Victory in Etihad Thriller

In a pulsating Champions League semi-final first leg, defending champions Real Madrid fought back from a 2-1 deficit to snatch a 3-3 draw away to Manchester City. The match was a seesaw affair that kept fans on the edge of their seats throughout.

Real Madrid's early dominance was rewarded when Dias turned the ball into his own net just 12 minutes in. However, City hit back with a stunning goal from Rodrygo just two minutes later. The hosts continued to push forward and were rewarded when Valverde equalized in the 79th minute.

Late Drama at the Etihad

With the match seemingly heading for a draw, Real Madrid produced a stunning late show. Tchouameni scored a dramatic winner in the 91st minute to give the Spanish giants a crucial away goal.

The result leaves the tie finely poised ahead of the second leg at the Santiago Bernabeu next week. Manchester City will need to score at least once in Spain to keep their hopes of reaching the final alive.
