It's living up to the hype.

Real Madrid's quarterfinal first leg against Manchester City got off to a breathless start Tuesday, as the two European heavyweights combined for three goals in the opening 14 minutes of their Champions League clash.

Bernardo Silva stunned the Santiago Bernabeu by catching Madrid goalkeeper Andriy Lunin sleeping with a clever free-kick in the second minute of play before the home side roared back.

Eduardo Camavinga's long-range effort deflected off Ruben Dias to level proceedings in the 12th minute. Two minutes later, Rodrygo broke free and beat Stefan Ortega with an effort that flicked off Manuel Akanji and slowly trickled past the helpless netminder.
