93'FT: RM (10) 1-2 Man City!!! All over at the Bernabeu!! Isco had put the hosts ahead, but then Jesus headed City level despite RM wanting a foul and then De Bruyne made it 1-2 after Carvajal fouled Sterling. To make things worse for Zidane's men, Ramos got sent off for DOGSO and now the Spanish side need at least two goals at the Etihad.
