00:01Cristiano Ronaldo didn't score in Real's 5-1 success over Athletic Bilbao.
00:10Mike Arbeloa, also with Liverpool experience.
00:16And they do find the weakness in the back four,
00:19and Zabaleta is the one, I think, best equipped in that City back five to handle him.
00:24Here is Ronaldo.
00:25Not playing against him yet.
00:27It's the sort of night that these players will have dreamed of,
00:30the fans will have dreamed of for many, many years.
00:32They would have believed it would have happened.
00:36Angled off by Ronaldo.
00:40He's complaining about being obstructed earlier in the move.
00:43They played on, they had the ball, they had the advantage.
00:46Just held by Zabaleta.
00:48It's a fantastic take.
00:51You see here the foul, that's what he's upset with.
00:53Real Madrid, the referee played a very good advantage.
00:57Of course, Manchester City faced the possibility of not just going out of the Champions League,
01:01but out of Europe altogether.
01:04Finishing at the bottom of the group.
01:07Some might say that would give them a better chance of returning their Premier League title.
01:11And Sami Khadira opened his body up too much in the end.
01:16Tried to just guide it inside Hart's left-hand post and put it wide of that post.
01:22I think that's what Manchester City wanted.
01:24Maicon and Zabaleta to double up, but neither supporting Pepe inside.
01:28It's fantastic to watch.
01:30Ronaldo skips past company as though he wasn't there.
01:35Six years.
01:37And the Manchester United head is in the side netting from Ronaldo's cross.
01:41From Khadira again, who's more of the holding midfield player,
01:44but the Xavi Alonso there to give him some insurance.
01:48That's twice he's got into the box now.
01:49Well, as good a defender as you are, change of direction will always kill any defender.
01:54And it's so quick.
01:55Again, it's Khadira getting on the end of it,
01:57but the skill from Cristiano Ronaldo is absolutely fantastic.
01:59Drawing into victory and giving the key statistics tonight a better look.
02:04No offside.
02:06He's in.
02:06Cristiano Ronaldo, has it got enough on it?
02:09Not quite.
02:09He's going to get another bite at it.
02:13And that's defective wide.
02:15He was almost ready to celebrate,
02:17but any thoughts like that were premature in the end.
02:21Zabaleta steps up, Nastasic runs back in,
02:24and you think it's a goal.
02:25Johar comes and tries to jump,
02:27make it difficult,
02:28but he does do well, Nastasic to sprint back.
02:33Modric.
02:39Oh dear.
02:50Jaira Toure gets a yellow card,
02:53and that means that he is out of the gap.
02:58Kolarov's trying to get there as well, but it was behind him.
03:01Modric can steer Cristiano Ronaldo into that counter-attacking stride of his.
03:09He's caught by Aguero in his league games.
03:13Cristiano Ronaldo's enjoyed the first half.
03:15There is Ronaldo.
03:18Better than perhaps he wants to beat him.
03:22Attacking the real good attacks in general a lot better.
03:31Contrao making it happen for Real Madrid here.
03:35Nastasic heads away.
03:38Di Maria.
03:41And Ronaldo...
03:43Allowed to run, Benzema in the middle.
03:46Kadira is there.
03:48And...
03:48Offside to start with.
03:50Di Maria and Alba just hold us on that side, but no.
03:53Mr Stasic, I think, on this right-hand side who keeps him on.
03:57There's an overload at the back post.
04:00And he just isn't getting enough on it.
04:02Company in the end.
04:05Alters the path of the ball, maybe gets a little touch on it.
04:10Now Xavi Alonso into the feet of Cristiano Ronaldo.
04:13Kadira's ahead of him.
04:14Ronaldo goes for goal, and it comes back, it's way off Joe Hart.
04:18Now Benzema.
04:21Now the flag has gone up for a free kick to Manchester City.
04:27As Ronaldo tried to get there first for the rebound off the goalkeeper.
04:34And we've seen these dipping shots so many times.
04:36This momentum spills back off Joe Hart.
04:38More of his work on the right-hand side at the moment.
04:42Just got to be careful here, City.
04:44An over-committing flaw with the don't get.
04:46Don't mind a sucker punch and a counter-attack.
04:54No sympathy for Cristiano Ronaldo, either from the fans or from the officials.
05:02He just knocks it past him.
05:03Vincent Kompany looks beaten.
05:05It isn't much of an arm.
05:07A little bit of a nudge off balance.
05:09A little late lunge.
05:11Now he's got some space to run into, which he loves.
05:14What sort of support can they provide for him?
05:16Kadira's covered the ground.
05:19Ronaldo goes it alone.
05:22And hits Mastacic and looks to Hart who wastes no time.
05:25Jekyll.
05:36Vincent Kompany's gone down, is it cramp?
05:39Has he pulled a hamstring?
05:43Looks like cramp with the way in which Cristiano Ronaldo's holding his toes.
05:50Jagging pain.
05:53Down the back of the thigh.
05:57He didn't look good, the weight of it.
05:59Ronaldo.
06:00Torre thought he should have had a free kick.
06:02He's got four to take on, Ronaldo.
06:04It's not beyond him.
06:06Oh, Kompany.
06:08He really looked as though he did take him out that time.
06:11But I don't think that's otherwise.
06:16Can't quite see, it's just so obvious.
06:18He's in such a good position, the referee, to see it.
06:20His manager is furious as well.
06:22Roll off him against Dortmund.
06:24Palateli not involved tonight.
06:26They say it's a back injury.
06:27So we have to believe them.
06:31Sounds like Reneguero struck against Queen's back Rangers with that goal.
06:36At least for Manchester City it's a familiar enough scenario.
06:41What a trophy on the line this time.
06:44But it might feel like that.
06:48Ronaldo.
06:49The way out for Real Madrid.
06:51Off he goes again.
06:52And Maslasic gets his body across in front.
06:57It's more than enough time for Manchester City.
07:00Zero scored to level the score.
07:02But with Dortmund winning in Amsterdam, Real Madrid only needed to draw.
07:06And draw they have done.
07:07So that's a great one.
07:07We have to pull you up.
07:08What a trophy on our team of''s back.
07:09We have to be here.
07:09We have to turn into it.
07:09Let me ask you, I'm thinking, then we haven't been done.
