Despite Manchester City's early pressure, Real Madrid's clinical finishing proved decisive. Gianluigi Donnarumma's penalty save in the second half prevented the score from widening, but couldn't ignite a City comeback. The victory puts Real Madrid in a strong position for the second leg at the Etihad Stadium, although Manchester City faces an uphill battle to qualify. Real Madrid's aggressive play resulted in 11 fouls, strategically disrupting Manchester City's rhythm.
