Real Madrid bounced back from their weekend defeat at Celta Vigo after taking the lead against Manchester City, but within 15 minutes, they are now in the Champions League hole at the Bernabeu.
The home side, with Kylia Mbappe on the bench due to injury, thought they had a penalty within two minutes when Vinicius confirmed that the infringement occurred outside the 18-yard box. However, it is more important now that they are earning. Jude Bellingham sticks to Rodrygo, who shoots past Gianluigi Donnarumma and into the far corner for his fifth goal against the City man.
Raise real madrid and the bernabeu is rocking 🙌

And just before half time, the city of the man now hit the front. Antonio Rudiger was adjudged to have been pulled down for bringing down Erling Haaland inside the penalty area, allowing the Norwegian striker to score from the 12th.

There were good signs for Real Madrid, who were the better team this time. However, they find themselves needing an answer in the second half, which means MBAPPE will likely be called Xabi Alonso.
