Holders Manchester City and Real Madrid shared six goals in a thriller to leave their Champions League quarter-final evenly poised after the first leg at the Bernabeu.<\/p>\n

Pep Guardiola\u2019s side took the lead in the second minute when Bernardo Silva cleverly snuck a 25-yard free-kick round the wall and past Andriy Lunin.<\/p>\n

Two deflected strikes brought 14-time European Cup winners Madrid level. First Eduardo Camavinga\u2019s long-range effort hit Ruben Dias and spun into the far corner of Stefan Ortega\u2019s goal, before Rodrygo got in behind the City defence and poked home via Manuel Akanji\u2019s heel.<\/p>\n

City were dominant in possession throughout under the closed roof of the Bernabeu but lacked quality in the final third \u2013 until Phil Foden stepped up.<\/p>\n

The England midfielder had been on the edge of the game but found space just outside the area to turn and fire into the top corner to pull City level.<\/p>\n

Moments later left-back Josko Gvardiol cut in and found the far corner with a superb right-foot shot to score his first goal since joining City from RB Leipzig in the summer.<\/p>\n

However, Madrid equalised with a stunning volley from Federico Valverde to set up an intriguing second leg on Wednesday, 17 April at Etihad Stadium, where City beat Madrid 4-0 in last season\u2019s semi-finals.<\/p>\n

There was late concern for City though, with Foden hobbling after a late tackle on his ankle.<\/p>\n

Foden allayed fears of a serious injury, telling TNT Sports he had a \u201cbad dead leg\u201d and was hopeful of being fit for Saturday\u2019s Premier League home game against Luton.<\/p>
