00:00so here we go predictions can tend to make you look foolish Real Madrid certainly have the upper

00:14hand many believe when Jude Bellingham closed his foot on that ball late on in Manchester

00:20eight nights ago he closed the door on Manchester City's Champions League hopes

00:26so so dangerous so for City when they have the ball they want to commit bodies forward but have to be

00:31careful they don't get caught on the break and in this sort of scenario

00:34sensational start it's a long straightforward ball City defenders ball watching

00:42Stones gets caught out badly misjudges that the flight of the ball that shouldn't happen

00:47you can't allow a quality striker like Mbappe to get in behind you but how quickly the striker

00:52sees where the goalkeeper is he can't you know take that ball down and then try and

00:57beat the goalkeeper he seizes off his line the lob is on and he just nudges it over

01:01the goalkeeper to perfection but City defensively awful

01:05Bellingham feeding Vinicius Junior Rodrigo Mbappe score intelligent forward pass players pass and move

01:19football at its best great understanding but the footwork here from Kylian Mbappe is just outstanding

01:26it's a really tight area defenders all around it no panic great balance sits the goalkeeper down and

01:32tucks it home but they the build-up the passing and moving just sensational every time they've

01:37gone forward they have ripped City apart that goal to me makes it tie over

01:42elusive and mobile Valverde and Mbappe waits and he still waits for his hat-trick

01:55having been willing to put himself on the line in the quest for it

02:00well City attack give the ball away cheaply

02:04Roger comes sweeping forward it's a tight call the offside call is brave and Mbappe

02:08as is Edison it's a wonderful ball in from Valverde stepping forth and right back gets the first touch on

02:14it and Mbappe it's opened up

02:23there's no pressure on the ball they're just knocking it around it's comfortable but they

02:27picks it up and steps past Foden and no one engages with him but he does exactly the

02:33right thing here just opens his body up and whips it passes it with pace into the bottom

02:38corner the Frenchman finds the Uruguay it's going to open up from Mbappe again he feeds Vinicius

02:45Junior this time once again the City defenders terrified of Mbappe so they don't close him down

02:54so he could shoot himself so much space he can actually lay the ball off Bellingham

03:00Vinicius Junior and Edison able to divert it away from danger

03:07again the City, Ruben Diaz giving the ball away cheaply Bellingham pouncing on it

03:12I think he really indicates where he's looking to strike this ball Vinicius Junior so it's a save that

03:16Edison should make it's a good high it's not too much pace on the ball it's moving back towards

03:20the goalkeeper as well it's a comfortable one for him Mouche Camavinga's determination across the line

03:28always looked at a risky challenge he was wrong side of his man decides to try and win it he's

03:36always going to catch the man rather than than the ball just takes Mouche out here nowhere near the ball

03:42and it's Mouche to hit it and what a hit he was and on the follow-up Nico Gonzalez is there

03:50well he was there to follow up there was the question well there's no question of offside

03:55and City are on the board and there is no Real Madrid clean sheet

03:58I think it's Mendy the player lying on the ground that plays the City players on

04:03here's a thunderous strike keep us nowhere near it they get a bit of luck with the break of the ball

04:07that's about the only look really they've had in the game City

04:11the ball coming back on the crossbar striking Courtois

04:14making it a tap in so at least City have got a goal but that's again

04:18it's just purely a consolation nothing more they've been outclassed tonight

04:23the goal stands and at least a note of defiance albeit one that may ring hollow

04:41Real Madrid imperious that there was no great challenge for the champions on the night
