The first section of champions league football has been played already
For fans of Liverpool, it was a night to forget as Real Madrid outplayed, and outclassed Liverpool in all areas of the game.
The second game ended in favour of Manchester City, but the game is still far from over as Dortmund were able to snatch a vital away goal in that fixture.

Foden Hands Man City Late Advantage Against Dortmund

Phil Foden struck a 90th minute winner as Man City took a slender 2-1 lead from the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final tie against Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday.

Foden had missed a series of chances to double City’s lead earlier in the second-half, but made amends at the death to give Pep Guardiola’s men the advantage with the second leg to come in Germany on April 14.

But despite the England league topper’s win at their stadium, there was a lot of controversy in the first-half of the game, which could have changed the surface of the encounter.

It all happened in the 36th minute of the game, when a poor back pass from a Manchester city player to Ederson, who controlled the ball but was dispossessed by Jude Bellingham, which the midfielder moved forward with the ball before slotting it into the net.

But the center referee wasted no time to blow his whistle for a foul on Ederson and went ahead to give Bellingham a yellow card.
