Manchester City vs Real Madrid - Champions League semi-final first leg as it happened: Pep Guardiola's side win pulsating contest 4-3

Eduardo Camavinga replaces Rodrygo in midfield

Laporte, of all people, finds himself in the opposition penalty area and he makes contact with Zinchenko's cross. Courtois has to be alert to make the stop.

The tempo has slowed somewhat and we can all catch our breath now.

Modric sets Benzema free down the left but his cross is dealt with by the City defence.

Raheem Sterling appears to be about to warm up.

Carvahal crosses from the right, picking out Militao but his header is straight at Ederson.

Pep was booked for a rant at the referee just before Real Madrid their goal.

This game is certainly living up to its billing!

What a game this is turning out to be as Vinicius Jnr drags Real Madrid back into the tie!

The Brazil international leaves his compatriot in his wake, spinning him on the halfway line, as he drives down the left flank, carving in and burying his shot into the bottom corner.

Man City's two-goal advantage is restored!

Real Madrid try to play out from the back, but Fernandinho is immediately on the case, pressing high and winning the ball. He plays a clever one-two, races to the by-line and picks out Foden with his cross and the 21-year-old can hardly miss with a header from six yards!

De Bruyne curls a teasing cross in from the right but it eludes Foden at the far post.

Mahrez touches it past Militao as he runs through clear on goal only to strike the post with his shot. The rebound falls to Foden whose first-time shot is cleared off the line by Carvajal!

A huge 45 minutes to come!

Alaba has been struggling and is replaced by Naco at the break.

Kevin De Bruyne and Gabriel Jesus scored to give Manchester City a 2-0 lead inside 11 minutes and it could have been even more as Riyad Mahrez and Phil Foden spurned further chances.

Real Madrid have been shocking defensively but in attack they've been threatened and Karim Benzema's 40th goal of the season has halved the deficit as we reach the halfway stage of a pulsating first leg.

De Bruyne slams his free-kick straight into the wall after Jesus won the foul from Kroos.

City are ending the first half strongly as Jesus spins away from Militao and forces a corner. The set-piece comes to nothing.

Mahrez is searching for the top left corner with the resulting free-kick but Courtois watches it all of the way and manages to punch it to safety.

Vinicius Jr concedes a foul on Bernardo, giving City a free-kick in a threatening area.
