Bernardo Silva scored the goal of the game. The Manchester City man hit a left-footed rocket into the top left corner from inside the box. Courtois could not do anything due to the shot's precision and power.

Goals, goals and more goals. The Etihad saw a goal fest this Tuesday night as Manchester City and Real Madrid battled it out for a ticket to this year's Champions League final.

But amongst so many goals, one stood out as the best of the night. It's scorer? Bernardo Silva. The Portuguese put his team 4-2 up after producing a wonder stike.

In a passage of play during which De Bruyne was fouled but the referee played the advantage, the Portuguese brought the ball down just inside the box and fired a rocket into the top left corner of the Real Madrid net.

The shot was so precise and powerful that Thibaut Courtois was left flat-footed and could only watch as the ball flew past him.
