The first leg of the Champions League quarter-final between Manchester City and Real Madrid lived up to the billing with goals, drama, and excitement. Bernardo Silva opened the scoring for City in the second minute with a clever free-kick, but Real Madrid quickly equalized through an Eduardo Camavinga strike.
