Manchester City's Phil Foden delivers injury update after Real Madrid thriller
The Englishman has been sensational form for the Citizens this season and was named UEFA Player of the Match following another fine display against Los Blancos at the Santiago Bernabeu.
City were trailing 2-1 following a frantic first 15 minutes during which two deflected strikes from Eduardo Camavinga and Rodrygo cancelled out a superb free kick scored by Bernardo Silva in the second minute.
However, the Champions League holders equalised on the 66-minute mark in exquisite fashion, as Foden drifted inside onto his favoured left foot before arrowing a wonderful 20-yard shot into the top corner.
Josko Gvardiol then scored an equally stunning long-range strike with his weaker right foot – his first for Man City – to put the visitors in front five minutes later, but Real Madrid restored parity when Federico Valverde fired a superb volley into the bottom corner, setting up an intriguing second leg at the Etihad Stadium next Wednesday.
