City Completely dominated Madrid in the first half, saw Bernardo Silva finding the scoresheet on two occasions (23rd and 37th) respectively as they completely outplayed the men from Madrid (Los Blancos) at home.
The Citizens went into the break with their heads up, as they hope to manage the last 45 minutes well.
The second department started well again, as the visiting team show glimpses of their dominance as they up their game a bit but the home fans in Etihad were relentless as they picked up their play again as Akanji’s header in the 76th minute was deflected by Eder Militao increasing their tally to 3 for the night.
