sport news PLAYER RATINGS: Two Man City stalwarts put in unusually unsteady and sloppy ... trends now
Real Madrid and Manchester City drew 3-3 after a breathtaking encounter at the Bernabeu in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final.
Bernardo Silva's cheeky free kick after less than two minutes put the reigning champions ahead, but Real hit back straight away with Eduardo Camavinga's shot deflecting in off Ruben Dias.
Almost instantly, Carlo Ancelotti's side went 2-1 up through Rodrygo, before Phil Foden's stunner in the second half brought City level.
The unlikely source of Josko Gvardiol then scored arguably an even better goal, with Federico Valverde evening things up again with a crisp volley to ensure these teams couldn't be separated heading into the second leg in Manchester next week.

It was a breathtaking encounter, with both City and Real trading several blows throughout
Real Madrid (4-2-3-1)
Andriy Lunin – 5.5
Embarrassing moment for Bernardo Silva’s early opener. Recovered and good distribution thereafter.
Dani Carvajal - 6
Could have been targeted more. Didn’t seem particularly comfortable with Jack Grealish’s running.
Antonio Rudiger – 7.5
Had the measure of Erling Haaland. Relishes the physicality of a big striker and City played into his hands.
Antonio Rudiger impressed and the ex-Chelsea defender had the measure of Erling Haaland
Andriy Lunin was embarrassed for Bernardo Silva's opener but recovered after the setback
Aurelien Tchouameni – 6.5
Very silly tackle that saw him booked and suspended for next week. A huge block on Grealish was eye-catching.
Ferland Mendy – 7.5
Some key interventions, especially when besting Haaland at the back post. Got Real moving forward too.
Toni Kroos – 6.5
Crucial in breaking up play and nicking possession. A solid base for those ahead of him to counter at pace.
Eduardo Camavinga – 6.5
Fortunate that the equaliser took a big deflection. Did the defensive side well and took risks on the ball.
Federico Valverde – 7
