As well as wreaking havoc for the Real Madrid defence, Foden was responsible for arguably the best goal of the night as he let fly with a vicious left-footed effort into the top corner of the net to make it 2-2.

That strike came after Bernardo Silva gave City the lead and Eduardo Camavinga and Rodrygo pushed the game in Real Madrid's favour.

Josko Gvardiol made it 3-2, before Federico Valverde made it 3-3 in a quite stunning second half of action, but as Foden looked to find a winner, he went down with a troubling injury.

While looking concerned, Foden did appear on the pitch at full-time with his teammates as they shook hands with their opponents and applauded the traveling fans.

Asked if he's okay, Foden told TNT Sports: "Yeah, I hope so.

"I've got a bit of a bad dead leg but I've got a bit of time now to recover, so hopefully I can."

He could be seen holding his right boot, but appeared in relatively good spirits as he smiled and waved to the fans.
