Pep Guardiola's men were brilliant at times but could not bury their Spanish adversary in the first leg on Tuesday
Manchester City became the latest team to participate in a Champions League thriller against Real Madrid this season, defeating Carlo Ancelotti's side 4-3 in the semi-final first leg on Tuesday.
It was nothing new for the visiting Blancos, who have now played in four straight matches in the competition with at least four goals scored.
For Manchester City, though, it was unusual chaos amid a European knockout campaign in which they had rarely been put in danger at the back.

Guardiola's squad will now head to the Santiago Bernabeu with a slight advantage, but given the chaos of the first leg, anything appears possible in the return fixture.
