Welcome to Eurosport's live coverage one of the opening matches in Champions League Group D between Real Madrid and Manchester City at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu!

Let me know your thoughts on an incredible evening in the Spanish capital via Twitter @tony_mabert.

The final whistle blows to end a remarkable second half in which City led twice but end up losing 3-2! Such incredible drama, and this is only the first night of this season's Champions League!

Hart has been excellent this evening, but he will feel he could have got a stronger hand to Ronaldo's shot there.

GOAL!! RONALDO SCORES WHAT IS SURELY THE WINNER FOR REAL!! Just moments after Hart spreads himself brilliantly to block Ozil, the world's most expensive player cuts inside Zabaleta from the left and hits a viciously dipping low strike that bamboozles the keeper! What drama!

Real come again now. They smell blood. Benzema squares for Ronaldo and Hart makes the save from 20 yards!

GOAL!! REAL LEVEL AGAIN THROUGH BENZEMA!! The France striker turns on the edge of the box and drills a clinical low finish right into the bottom corner!

Kolarov scored City's first Champions League goal against Napoli last season, and he has netted another big one here this evening. Can City hang on for five minutes?

GOAL!! Kolarov whips the left-footed delivery into the box and it deceives everyone - including Iker Casillas - and the ball goes inside the far post! Amazing stuff!

A City corner is cleared but Zabaleta is clipped by Benzema and City have a free-kick on the right.

Ozil and Ronaldo both heavily involved befor eModric has an effort from range that, given some of his antics this evening, is an easy stop for Hart.

Hart palms Benzema's effort from a wide angle away and then Alonso hits a solid strike right at him! Is there a winner in this game for someone?

Ozil stoops to meet di Maria's cross but Nastasic does enough at the near post to put it behind for a corner.

GOAL!! Marcelo levels for Real Madrid! After two solid efforts with his favoured left foot fly wide, the Brazilian hits the top corner with a right-footed strike that appeared to take a slight deflection on its way past Hart!

Toure is released with a crossfield ball and he fires into the side-netting! City never looked like scoring this much before they broke the deadlock.

City substitution: Pablo Zabaleta replaces Maicon.

Real substitutions: Luka Modric and Karim Benzema replace Khedira and Higuain.

This time it's Tevez rampaging through the middle and he slips it wide left to Kolarov. The substitute hits a thundering low drive on goal that Casillas tips away, fortunately for him not into the path of Tevez.

A lethally whipped free-kick from Alonso is glanced over by Kolarov's header. From the subsequent corner, Varane heads over.

Ronaldo goes to motor past Kompany down the left, but the City captain cynically body-checks him. Kompany will take that booking, you feel.

GOAL!! It's another City break orchestrated by a charging Toure run down the middle, but this time it yields a goal! The Ivorian sneaks a pass through to Dzeko, who makes no mistake with a low finish past Casillas!
