00:00Well, what a game we've got in store today and the crowd is alive with expectation.
00:05Who is going to emerge victorious?
00:14Stay tuned for it all right here on EA TV.
00:20Hello from one of the world's most iconic stadiums, the Santiago Bernabeu.
00:25I'm Guy Mowbray with the former Arsenal and West Ham midfielder Stuart Robson alongside me.
00:30And every reason to believe we're in for an entertaining match here.
00:34It's Real Madrid versus Manchester City.
00:37This should be a good game. Great atmosphere inside the stadium.
00:39We've got two teams full of quality, some interesting match-ups,
00:42and two coaches that want to play an attractive brand of football.
00:46What more could you ask for?
00:55It's no surprise to see who we've focused on as our player to watch in this game.
01:03You would presume that he'd play a really big part.
01:06Well, whether it's over 10 yards or 50 yards, he's absolutely rapid.
01:10And on his day, almost unstoppable.
01:12He will be the key player, I'm sure, today.
01:14This is the Real Madrid starting line-up.
01:38Thibaut Courtois is in goal.
01:40Jude Bellingham plays alongside Aurelien Schuermeni in midfield.
01:44And the main man up front is Kylian Mbappé.
01:55And it's Real Madrid to get the game started.
02:04Federico Valverde.
02:05Could get it over now.
02:08Lovely set-up.
02:10Bellingham.
02:17Some contact there, but advantage played.
02:19Looking to create an angle.
02:26Kylian Mbappé.
02:27City have possession again.
02:29Mateus Nunez.
02:30City with acres of space to attack.
02:31Bernardo Silva into the box.
02:32The attack comes to an end.
02:33Disappointing.
02:34And that did not look good to me.
02:36Taking control of discipline from the start.
02:37Well, it's a bold call early on.
02:39Oh.
02:40It's a bold call early on.
02:41Oh!
02:42Oh.
02:43Oh.
02:44Oh!
02:45Oh!
02:46Oh!
02:47Oh!
02:48Oh!
02:49Oh!
02:50Oh!
02:51Oh!
02:53Oh!
02:54Oh!

02:56That's so bad!
02:57Oh!
02:58Oh!
02:59Oh!
03:00the start well it's a bold call early on
03:30Oh good strike and he's made it easy for the keeper with that one
03:44Bellingham
03:48All one well read
03:53Gay
04:00Rodri
04:03City showing good width here
04:17Kylian Mbappe
04:21They need to be better on the ball than that
04:25Good chance here
04:27It's nicely stopped and held by the keeper
04:34Chuameni
04:39On to Valverde
04:41Pass was read and the ball has changed hands
04:46Jeremy Doku
04:50Gay
04:55Beautifully weighted ball
04:57Keeping the ball but being kept at bay with the sides locked level
05:04Chance for the lead
05:06A body in the way
05:13Now they've got possession what can they do from here
05:18Real opportunity
05:21Incredible stop
05:23Double stop
05:24Yeah really smart piece of goalkeeping there as you said
05:26So agile
05:34Delivered into the box
05:37Well that's how to deal with it
05:38Nicely gathered
05:43Chuameni
05:46Bellingham
05:50Aurelian Chuameni
05:51The ball back with City now
05:52The ball back with City now
06:04Played in with that
06:06Just needs the composure now
06:08And what a challenge
06:09What a challenge
06:13Well just listen to these fans
06:14They're urging their team to score here
06:15And take the lead
06:32The pass has not found its target
06:34Yeah that's not very good is it
06:37Now there could be a chance to counter
06:40And it's all gone a bit schoolyard
06:51This could get interesting
06:53Oh it must be here
06:55Well we tried to put the hammer down on that one
06:58And the result wasn't pretty
07:09Not so much given away as cleverly won
07:23Could take things forward a notch here
07:25Mbappe
07:39Now Bellingham
07:41Chuameni
07:43City recovering possession well
07:44Space out wide for City now
07:48And no straps for the attackers to feed off
07:50Hung on to the ball well
07:52Turn around in possession
07:54Excellent positioning
07:55Turn around in possession
07:56Excellent positioning
08:05Turn around in possession
08:06Excellent positioning
08:07Ryan Cherky
08:18Nunez
08:20Real have it back now
08:21What a chance here
08:24What a chance here
08:25What a chance here
08:29Must be
08:30It's in
08:31Deadlock broken
08:32And just how crucial could that prove to be
08:35Well here it is again and it's all about the pacing transition
08:47They're so quick to get out from the back
08:49And there's certainly no doubt about the finish
08:51He really hits it with power and accuracy
08:53Nothing the keeper can do about that
08:54And the game restarts with the score 1-0
09:19Oh brilliant anticipation
09:24Ruben Diaz
09:33Kylian Mbappe
09:35They won't be going any further
09:37That really was a lovely bit of defending there
09:44Cherky
09:50Vinicius Junior
09:52Setting up the chance
09:54Now this has to be
09:57And they've scored again
09:59That puts them further in front
10:01What a position to be in
10:16Well just look how exposed the keeper is
10:18He's got absolutely no chance there
10:20But they do take it well you have to say
10:21Well you have to say
10:42There's the whistle and that will do it for the first half here in Madrid
10:44Well Erling Haaland needs to bring something positive to the game now as shown here
10:45Well you can't blame his work rate but today like the rest of the team he just hasn't been able to find that much needed spot
10:58The second half kicks off with City knowing they must show significant improvement
11:01The second half kicks off with City knowing they must show significant improvement
11:19Tio amini
11:20Tio amini
11:22Tio amini
11:24Chouamani
11:32Read the pass well and cuts it out
11:42Someone's got to do something about this
11:44And the attack collapses
11:46Well they've defended that really well
11:49They look very organised there
11:50Chance now for a quick transition
11:53This has to be
11:56Well he's got two now
11:58And he's playing a starring role here
12:10Let's see this again
12:11This is counter attacking football at it's very best
12:14And his movement's so clever
12:16Once he gets on to it
12:17There's only one thought in his head
12:19Smash it as hard as possible
12:20What a good goal
12:21So 3-0 now
12:25The lead ever more commanding
12:27As we start again
12:28Mateus Nunez
12:31Now with Diaz
12:34Rodri
12:36Now what can they do from here?
12:39Oh wonderful ball there
12:54Oh wonderful ball there
12:56And it's on now
13:02Oh it's in
13:03Oh yes
13:04What a way to silence this crowd
13:07Well it's a decent strike
13:14But the keeper should do a lot better at his near post
13:17The game kicks off again with the score 3-1
13:37Valverde
13:40Oh that's really well cut out
13:43Excellent progress
13:47And it continues
13:48And it's opened up
13:58And the keeper reads it well
14:00And saves
14:01Substitution coming up
14:05It's put into the middle
14:17Bellingham
14:23Bellingham
14:24Mbappé
14:30He's shooting down
14:36And he shall not pass
14:38That's defendant of the highest quality
14:41Rodri
14:44Real moving the ball forward
14:51What can they do from here?
14:57This is lovely football
14:58Moving defenders around
15:00Real chess
15:01And there it is
15:02He's doubled up for the day
15:04Well just look at the set up here
15:17It's such a clever back hill
15:18And once he gets onto it
15:20He just smashes it past the keeper
15:21With great technique
15:22What an emphatic finish that is
15:24So it's 4-1 now
15:38As the ball gets rolling again
15:39On he goes
15:49Terrific
15:50And it's on here
15:53Taken cleanly
15:54And held onto
15:55Good work
16:02To recover possession
16:03Allowed to go a long way
16:07With this
16:07Beaten easily here
16:12Now can someone attack this?
16:15It's only halfway clear
16:17Here we go
16:20And a corner to come
16:24For Manchester City
16:25They take it short
16:37Danger averted
16:39But it will be another corner
16:40It's away
16:46But not far enough
16:47It's broken down
16:50And it had looked promising
16:51Oh that's been won
16:55Really smartly
16:57Yeah that's a clever interception
16:58Phil Foden
17:03Silva
17:05Would work from Real Madrid
17:09To win the ball back
17:10There's space to attack here
17:19For Real Madrid
17:20And that's safe and secure goalkeeping
17:24Rodri
17:27Just a little untidy
17:34He's in here
17:37Still the chance
17:40A goal
17:42Well that's upset the majority
17:44Inside this ground
17:45Well just look at how poor the defending is here
17:58But I have to say
17:59It's still a very tidy finish
18:00He looked really assured there
18:024-2 the score then
18:20As we kick off once more
18:21Federico Valverde
18:26Now Bellingham
18:29Valverde
18:32Kylian Mbappé
18:34But that's offside
18:36The timing
18:37A little bit out
18:37Well he was always going to be offside
18:39That was the wrong option
18:40And here comes a change
18:49And here comes a change
18:49Well the Real Madrid fans are happy
19:09And they should be
19:10And they should be
19:10As we approach full time
19:11A really impressive performance here
19:13Well they've been much the better side up to now
19:15Some of their approach play has been excellent
19:17They just need to control possession
19:19For these final few minutes
19:20To cap off a really good display
19:22Schuermany
19:39On to Bellingham
19:41And it comes down to the final 5 minutes
19:45Mbappé
19:49Read the pass well
19:53And cuts it out
19:54Over the line
19:56Throw it
19:57Nunez
20:09Now with Diaz
20:11Jeremy Doku
20:13Plenty of open space here
20:16He goes
20:18And on
20:19And on
20:19And there's a chance for the break here
20:27And that puts a really impressive seal
20:38On what has been a fantastic performance
20:41Well just look at this again
20:51The speed of counter attack is so impressive
20:53And he makes no mistake with the finish
20:55He's shown a lot of composure there
20:57So it's 5-2 now as the game restarts
21:16Mark Gay
21:21Decent looking attack
21:24Decent looking attack this
21:25The attack broken up
21:27Opportunity now
21:29Oh brilliant save
21:31Yeah won the battle there
21:32Confident piece of goalkeeping
21:34Here it comes
21:52Here it comes
21:53Still trouble here
21:54Still trouble here
21:55And that's full time
21:58And it's victory
21:59For Real Madrid
22:01They were the better team
22:02All over the pitch
22:03We saw good individual performances
22:04We saw an attack
22:05Which was always threatening
22:06And they played really well
22:08What a performance that was today
22:09Well he really has
22:15Put in a first class performance today
22:18Absolutely magnificent
22:19Well what more could you ask for
22:21His build up play was clever
22:23His movement was dynamic
22:24And he scored a couple of goals
22:26What a player he is
