Manchester City escaped the Bernabeu with the tie all-square after a pulsating draw with Real Madrid on Tuesday. City travelled back to the scene of their heartbreaking semi-final elimination last year determined to make amends and made a good start of doing so as they dominated the first half.
But then - completely against the run of play - Vinicius Junior fired a stunning shot into the top corner to give Madrid the lead.
The goal gave Los Blancos the ascendency and they continued to turn the screw in the second half, putting Pep Guardiola's side under immense pressure.
But just like Madrid did in the first 45, City found a goal out of nowhere. The ball landed at Kevin De Bruyne's feet some 30 yards from goal and he thundered it into the back of the net with a real bolt from the blue.
