Kevin De Bruyne's superb header has given Manchester City an early lead in this Champions League semi-final first leg.Manchester City: Ederson; Stones, ...

The bookmaker's odds suggest that Manchester City and Liverpool are likely to be the two teams contesting the Champions League final. Manchester City have made four changes from their demolition of Watford at the weekend. As talk rages on about where Mahrez will be playing his football next season, he has been given the trust of his manager this evening. This evening's clash has all the hallmarks of a classic Champions League clash. Success is what every footballer craves as a youngster and then when they get their break at the top level. It is unlikely the England regular would have got a look in had Cancelo not been suspended but such is the scenario that he and Guardiola find themselves in. Rematch.— OptaJoe (@OptaJoe) April 26, 2022 We are just 20 minutes away from kick off in the first of the two Champions League semi finals. We are just moments away from kick off in Manchester as the two teams make their way out onto the Etihad pitch. That is exactly what Guardiola would have wanted as Mahrez clips a perfect cross into the Real Madrid penalty area where De Bruyne is on hand to bravely nod beyond Thibaut Courtois. Although, they do seem relatively happy to let City control the ball in rather ineffective areas. City have doubled their lead and De Bruyne is once again at the heart of it.

Manchester City edge Real Madrid in 4-3 thriller but Benzema keeps ... (The Guardian)

Manchester City beat Real Madrid 4-3 in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final but Karim Benzema left everything to play for.

Mahrez had to pass to Foden only to take on the shot – a bad decision – while Foden dragged wide of the far post after a fluent counterattack. In the heat of the moment it was possible to forget that City had actually beaten Spain’s champions-elect, outplaying them for long spells. Laporte and Mahrez missed big chances either side of Silva’s goal but the last word would go to Benzema. The final act had Dias stretching at Real’s far post to meet a cross only to fail to stretch enough. From the rebound Foden shot and Carvajal blocked. Vinícius flickered, Alaba rose to flash a header wide and then Benzema scored with a controlled volley from Ferland Mendy’s cross. Mahrez cut into a seam of space, jinking away from Luka Modric before picking out the late-breaking run of Kevin De Bruyne, who threw himself into the header with Carvajal – and then Thibaut Courtois – flailing. The 13-times winners refuse to lose in this competition. With the referee, Istvan Kovacs, playing a smart advantage, the City midfielder arrowed a shot into the near, top corner and Guardiola could lose himself in delight. This is what City’s quest for a first Champions League does to the man who wants it, maybe needs it, more than anyone else. Guardiola slumped down on to a drinks cooler. He reacted by chasing after the fourth official to earn a yellow card.

Real Madrid and Manchester City left soccer fans around the world wanting more after playing to a seven-goal thriller in Tuesday's opening leg of their UEFA ...

The Brazilian should be cleared to play next week, which is great news for a Real side that suffered without him in the opening leg. Then, in the final 10 minutes, Benzema gave Real another life line, this time converting from the penalty spot with a cheeky Panenka – chip shot – to make it a 4-3 game and give his team hope going into next week’s second leg. In total, he has 41 goals in all competitions in 2021-22, making him only the fifth Real Madrid player to hit the 40-goal plateau in a single season. Almost on cue, the French striker dragged the visitors back into the game with a volley off a feed from Ferland Mendy that tucked inside the post to make it 2-1 going into halftime. It took only 93 seconds for Real Madrid to buckle, as Kevin De Bruyne scored to stun the Spaniards. Riyad Mahrez came off the right wing, slipped between Real’s Ferland Mendy and Vinícius Junior, and then took on three more players inside the box before delivering an inch-perfect cross for De Bruyne, who made a late run into the box, to nod it home. The Belgian delivered a dangerous cross into the heart of the penalty box that Real’s David Alaba failed to deal with, allowing Gabriel Jesus to turn him and beat goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois from close range.
