'Real Madrid are finished' - Man City fans react to rapid start in Champions League semi-final

Manchester City fans have been sharing their delight after Kevin De Bruyne and Gabriel Jesus gave the hosts an early lead against Real Madrid in the Champions League.

City started on the front foot and caught their Spanish opponents off guard early on. A lovely ball towards the back stick from Riyad Mahrez found De Bruyne who was bursting into the box.

His diving header evaded the dive of Thibaut Courtois and sent the Etihad Stadium into raptures. De Bruyne then turned provider when his cross found Jesus who slotted the ball into the bottom corner.

Karim Benzema then hit back just after the half-hour mark to halve the deficit. The winner of the two-legged semi-final will face Liverpool or Villarreal in Paris for the Champions League trophy.

Before kick-off, plenty of the talk surrounded the selection of Jesus after speculation linking him with Arsenal, however, Guardiola's choice has been firmly justified. Here's how City fans have been reacting on Twitter.
