Already in the second minute, Bernardo Silva sent in 1-0 to Manchester City, after a tricky free kick.
But a quarter of an hour later, Real Madrid led the game.
After an own goal by Ruben Dias, Rodrygo was able to counter in 2–1 to the Spaniards.
But City would also be responsible for a turn in the match. Phil Foden thundered in to make it 2-2 in the 66th minute and five minutes later Josko Guardiol gave the away side the lead with a fine finish.
However, the last dream goal of the match was not scored. Federico Valverde volleyed in 3-3, which was the final score of the match.
Meanwhile, Arsenal and Bayern Munich also played to a draw. The Germans overturned an early deficit, before Leandro Trossard equalized to make it 2–2 in the second half.
The Champions League returns will be played in a week.
