Real Madrid entertained Manchester City at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium earlier tonight as they hoped to secure a win at home in the UEFA Champions League. Los Blancos made a bright start to the game and scored the opening goal in the 28th minute when Rodrygo found the back of the net. However, Nico O\u2019Reilly equalised for the visitors in the 35th minute before Erling Haaland put Man City 2-1 ahead just before the half-time break. Xabi Alonso\u2019s men were trailing 2-1 at half-time.<\/p>\n

The Madrid giants failed to make a comeback in the second half and crashed to a tough 2-1 loss in front of their home fans.<\/p>\n

LB: Alvaro Carreras \u2013 6.5\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

CM: Dani Ceballos \u2013 6.5\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Spaniard did his fair share of defending but offered very little in the final third.<\/p>\n

Bellingham got stuck in with some crunching tackles and made some decent chances in the final third.<\/p>\n

He was a real menace in the final third and scored the opener in the 28th minute.<\/p>\n

His impact on the game was minimal and was replaced in the 57th minute.<\/p>\n

He was not shy of having a strike at goal and but never looked like he would score.<\/p>\n
