00:02The final win over Benfica when Vinnie Jr scored his 14th of the season, I guess.
00:08Much will depend on, and if it is decided by one thing tonight, it might be decided from the bench.
00:14They've got to decide on this.
00:16If we will check the official timekeeper.
00:21And off we go.
00:24Let's hope it is as sumptuous as the previous.
00:27Come Manchester City.
00:30If he knew into Bernardo Silva, did really well.
00:34Bram had a bit scrambling in the first effort of the game.
00:37Comes from Manchester City, Semenyo.
00:40Yeah, a bit of messy defending from the home team then.
00:42Vinicius Jr.
00:45Very open start to the game.
00:48Thiago Pitta, the teenager.
00:51Back to Vinnie Jr.
00:52Little poke ball into the penalty.
00:54Really good effort away.
00:56Brown deals, poked it.
00:57The easiest of chances to test, Donovan.
01:01Probably would have been called offside anyway.
01:09Semenyo just scuffed a little bit of O'Reilly, dropped his shoulder.
01:13Valverde with the block challenge.
01:15He's poked it straight to Bernardo Silva.
01:18It's quite high on the bounce.
01:21He's done well to control it, City captain.
01:26Real Madrid has got a bit more structure about them.
01:28They know what they want to do with the ball when they're going forward.
01:31It's a little bit more off the cuff for Real Madrid.
01:35Opportunity for the break, and he's around Donnarumma, and scores.
01:39And Real Madrid from the breakaway, technically.
01:44The captain, Valverde.
01:47Manchester City have had more of the ball,
01:50and the better opportunities for their core call.
01:56Aren't they just for back to front so quickly?
02:01He does brilliantly, Valverde.
02:07Courtois got him to get an assist here.
02:11Nico O'Reilly won't enjoy seeing that back,
02:13but Donnarumma has to pull away.
02:15He could have got a hand on it.
02:16He maybe thought he was outside the box.
02:18I don't know, why didn't he put his left hand on this, the City keeper?
02:25He's just...
02:26Oh, that's a big miscalculation from Donnarumma, but what a finish.
02:33Donnarumma, Brian Diaz.
02:36Vinicius Junior.
02:39Valverde with the run.
02:41And the shots, and the second goal of the night
02:43for the Real Madrid captain.
02:46They lead Manchester City by two goals for now.
02:49It was well executed,
02:50but from a Manchester City point of view,
02:52it was far too easy.
02:54Wasn't it just?
02:56Two of their star men.
02:58Vinicius Junior and Valverde.
03:02Leading from the front.
03:04What a first half an hour it's been for them.
03:10And what a finish this was.
03:13Absolutely superb.
03:16Lovely footwork, and he lets it go.
03:18The little nick off Nuban Diaz into the path of Valverde.
03:22So a bit of good fortune, perhaps.
03:24But he makes the very most of it.
03:28It's got a lot to do to beat Donnarumma from that angle still,
03:31but beautifully dispatched.
03:35Full of confidence after the first.
03:36Valverde Jr. shrugs off the challenge into the box.
03:41Pulls it back.
03:42Nudged on to the youngster.
03:44Pitak.
03:50Diaz looks for the revolver.
03:51Verdi on a hat-trick.
03:52Brilliant!
03:52Oh my goodness me!
03:55He has a first half hat-trick, and that was simply sublime.
03:59Real Madrid three, Manchester City nil.
04:04What a fantastic goal.
04:06I thought the chance had gone.
04:09I thought they'd taken too many touches.
04:12I thought Benicius Jr.
04:14Passed up the chance to shoot.
04:16And it looked like fizzling out.
04:20Valverde will not score a more skilful goal than this.
04:26He's absolutely flying.
04:28What about this for a pass as well?
04:30But after that, it's all about the awareness.
04:36Diaz with the lovely dink.
04:39Beautiful stuff.
04:41And what a big goal in the context of this two-legged.
04:44He certainly needs more from Sevilla.
04:50What a half for Real Madrid and their captain, Federico Valverde.
04:54His first club hat-trick of a long...
04:59Off we go in the second half.
05:00Real Madrid famously all in white.
05:03Leading by three goals to nil and kicking from right to left
05:05in this second half.
05:08To Brahim Diaz.
05:13Purposeful run this.
05:15Checks back, gets a shot away.
05:17Had to be parried by Donnarumma.
05:18Quickly on to what was Benicius.
05:20It's another chance for Real Madrid.
05:21Well, it's a great run for Brahim Diaz, this.
05:24Just opened up for him.
05:29Let's have a look at Ruben Diaz here.
05:36As he makes up the ground.
05:39Credit for it, the way he's put his team out here.
05:43Formation, the attitude.
05:47Bernardo Silva, Semenho, goes near post where...
05:51Just trying to sneak one in, I think, Semenho.
05:55Mind you, he does slip.
05:56Good game, Dean Housen.
05:58Really good.
05:59And now look at this for a counter.
06:01And Benicius has got him behind.
06:03And can he finish?
06:04And can he finish the tie effectively?
06:06Around Donnarumma was their contact.
06:09A penalty is given.
06:17He's had a quiet evening and suddenly explodes on the counter and wins the spot kit.
06:24This would surely put this two-legged tie to bed.
06:30Saved by Donnarumma.
06:31It was casual with a penalty.
06:32Oh, Donnarumma's come and not got there.
06:36Here's the pen.
06:40It's nowhere near the corner.
06:45He never has to look to see where Donnarumma's going.
06:49And he was already moving that way, wasn't he, before the ball was struck.
06:54Nourbelo will make changes.
06:56His team has pressed and pressed all day long.
06:58Worked so hard.
07:00To the point of exhaustion.
07:02Here's Doku.
07:04Goes again.
07:05Takes on Trent Alexander-Arnold.
07:07It's sliced just wide.
07:10Balverdic sees a gap.
07:12Looks for Vinicius Junior.
07:14Sees another gap.
07:16It's a nightmare to stop in those situations.
07:20Again, four white shirts around him.
07:22Back to Rodri.
07:26Fine pass.
07:27Doku.
07:29Corner ball from Manchester.
07:37Oh, a bit of pressure there.
07:38And O'Reilly got the shot away.
07:40Mistake by Pittar.
07:41He's brilliant with his feet, with his legs.
07:46Courtois mentioned in the first half his reflexes when the ball's down below him.
07:52Absolutely.
07:53Rounders.
07:55Right-footed nudges it off.
07:58It's float.
07:59And easily dealt with.
08:03What a performance by Real Madrid.
08:06They are halfway to a place in the quarterfinals.
08:10They have beaten Manchester City with a brilliant first half-half-half-trick by their captain.
08:15They have beaten Manchester City with a brilliant first half-half-trick by their captain.
