Jude Bellingham delivered a 92nd-minute winner as Real Madrid beat Manchester City 3-2 in a typically dramatic Champions League clash between the two sides.
Erling Haaland broke his duck against Real Madrid with a brace but it was not enough for even a draw, as Brahim Diaz equalised against his former club with four minutes of normal time remaining, and Bellingham then slid in to turn the ball into an empty net and leave City stunned at the Etihad Stadium.
Haaland had failed to find the net in four previous appearances against Real, but opened the scoring in this Champions League play-off tie after Josko Gvardiol chested the ball into his path.
That lead remained until the hour mark, when Kylian Mbappe’s scuffed volley looped into the far corner, a deserved equalised for Real after they had wasted a string of presentable chances.
Haaland restored the advantage from the penalty spot and City were within touching distance of taking a lead into the second leg at the Bernabeu, but Diaz and Bellingham had other ideas.
