Madrid won 3-0, thanks to a quite magnificent hat-trick from skipper Federico Valverde but it might easily have been more. It took City longer to go behind but Real took the lead on 20 minutes. Vinicius Jr demanded the ball on the left and ran at the retreating City defence. Valverde took it in his stride and, with his first touch, he hooked the ball over the head of Marc Guehi. Vinicius Jr took the penalty, Donnarumma guessed correctly, dived to his left and pushed it away.
