Despite City taking the lead early through Bernardo Silva’s free kick, Real Madrid quickly responded with a fortunate equaliser from Eduardo Camavinga. The Swedish referee, Glenn Nyberg, did not think so and waved play on. The conversation went on after the final whistle, with Saka accosting the referee, but the 2-2 result means both teams start again from scratch in the second leg next Wednesday.City started quickly and scored straight from a free kick by Bernardo Silva, which deceived Andriy Lunin, but Real Madrid were straight back with a fortuitous equaliser through Camavinga’s shot, which deflected off Ruben Dias.

It took the Gunners until the 76th minute to get back on level pegging after a good combination of two substitutes, Gabriel Jesus and Leandro Trossard, who finished neatly past Neuer. Arsenal had a let-off in the 90th minute when Kingsley Coman’s effort came back off the post.
