Manchester City put themselves 3-1 up after Mendy gifted the ball to Fernandinho who then expertly put the ball into the box where Foden rose to head the ball forcefully into the back of Courtois' net.

Real Madrid looked dead and buried at the Etihad after City pulled two goals in front early in the first half and looked in full control. Fortunately for Real Madrid, they have a certain Karim Benzema, and he pulled a goal back for 'Los Blancos' before half time.

However, at the start of the second half, the English side doubled their advantage for the second time in the match. It all started with an error from Ferland Mendy.

The Frenchman gave the ball away via a poor pass attempt down the wing. Fernandinho took advantage, burst down the right and crossed the ball into the box with class to pick out Phil Foden.

The young English star, rose with a cool head to nod the ball past Courtois to make it 3-1 in favour of his team.
