The Sky Sports football writers analyse Tuesday's Champions League quarter-final first legs as neither Man City nor Arsenal have it their own way against Europe's giants.

Foden shines again for Man CityAfter two of his three goals against Aston Villa came from outside of the penalty box less than a week ago, Phil Foden was at it again. This time, the stage was even bigger - away to Real Madrid in the knockout stages of the Champions League. And with his team up against it too. As Pep Guardiola noted afterwards, it came during a phase of the game in which City were in danger of falling two goals behind. Things can get complicated quickly in the Bernabeu.

They scored from their second one too, Harry Kane converting from the spot after Leroy Sane had turned Jakub Kiwior and drawn a clumsy foul from William Saliba in the box.

Phil Foden's Stunning Strike Silences Bernabeu in Champions League ThrillerThe England midfielder's stunning strike silenced the Bernabeu as he showed exactly why he is one of the favourites for the 2024 Golden Ball. Last year, Erling Haaland left Santiago Bernabeu having endured perhaps his quietest performance in a Manchester City shirt. In the midst of one of the great goal-scoring campaigns, the Norwegian forward had been silenced, predominantly by Antonio Rudiger. That night, Madrid and City played out an intriguing yet somewhat forgettable 1-1 draw with Real Madrid. Both managers deployed line-ups with control and solidity in mind, and thus the first leg of this Champions League quarter-final should have been a cagey affair. The reality was the opposite, as control gave way to chaos in the most memorable of 3-3 thrillers. Phil Foden proved with a fine curled effort that brought City back into the game, and capped yet another wonderful performance from one of 2024's top contenders for the Ballon d'Or.
