Manchester City beat record winners Real Madrid 4-3 in a Champions League semi-final first leg thriller on Tuesday which leaves the tie wide open.
City led by two goals on three occasions but Karim Benzema's brace helped Real stay in the game.
The hosts were 2-0 up after 11 minutes as Kevin de Bruyne nodded home in the second minute and then set up Gabriel Jesus.
In-form Benzema got Real back into the game in the 33rd, Phil Foden made it 3-1 in the 53rd, Real to hit back again two minutes later from Vinicius Junior, and Benzema's second from an 82nd-minute penalty for a tournament-leading 14 goals then left Real still well-positioned after Bernardo Silva's fourth for City.
The return leg is next week Wednesday in Madrid, with Carlo Ancelotti's 13-time winners aiming to make Pep Guardiola's City their latest victim after ousting Paris Saint-Germain and title holders Chelsea in the previous rounds.
Guardiola meanwhile is bidding to become the first manager to oust Real three times in the elite event, having done so with Barcelona in the 2011 semis and with City in the 2020 last 16.
The other first leg game Wednesday is also an English-Spanish affair, with Liverpool hosting surprise package Villarreal.
