Pep Guardiola's Side Triumphs in Thrilling Clash

Champions League Semi-Final First Leg

In a highly anticipated match, Manchester City emerged victorious in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League semi-final against Real Madrid. The game, which was played at Etihad Stadium, saw City dominate from the start, securing a commanding 4-0 lead.

The hosts took the lead in the second minute through Kevin De Bruyne's stunning strike. Gabriel Jesus doubled the advantage before the break, and Phil Foden and Bernardo Silva added two more goals in the second half to give City a comfortable cushion heading into the second leg.

Real Madrid, who were without injured star Karim Benzema, struggled to create scoring opportunities throughout the match. The defeat leaves them with a daunting task of overturning a four-goal deficit at home in the second leg to reach the final.

Manchester City, on the other hand, will be confident of sealing their place in the Champions League final with a positive result in the second leg, which is set to take place on May 4th at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium.
