The Portuguese midfielder scored two goals in the first half for the Citizens, who smothered the Merengue from the start. Bernardo Silva, left alone in the middle of the box, regained the ball with a header perfectly put into the window of Courtois who did not have time to replace.
Gundogan made a perfect breakthrough into the Real box to attempt a low strike on a Grealish serve, pushed away by Cour tois. John Stones temporizes with Kevin De Bruyne on the right side. The Belgian finds Silva in a small space.
