Benzema’s first time shot goes well over the Man City crossbar from 13 yards out. Good move into the City box by the hosts’ strikers. Mahrez shoots it straight to Real keeper Courtois from the set piece. No trouble for the hosts’ keeper.

Kyle Walker returned at right-back for Manchester City, up against Madrid’s Vinicius Junior in his first appearance since April 13. There were no surprises in Pep Guardiola’s line-up as Riyad Mahrez, Phil Foden and Gabriel Jesus formed the front three, while Joao Cancelo was picked at left-back after missing the first leg through suspension.
Real Madrid welcomed back Casemiro for the second leg of their Champions League semi-final against Manchester City tonight. Trailing 3-4 after a thrilling first leg, Madrid put the fit-again Casemiro straight back into their midfield, alongside Luka Modric, Toni Kroos and Fede Valverde. David Alaba’s calf injury meant Nacho Fernandez came into the defence as expected, with Karim Benzema leading the line again up front.
Walker heads the ball out to safety after jumping high to connect the Real Madrid corner kick. In the process he gets a knock on the head and needs medical attention, but he looks okay. Kross’ delivery from the set piece gets a deflection from the City wall. And it’s a corner for Real Madrid.
