Statements after the end of the first quarter-final between Real Madrid and Manchester City he made after the end of the exciting match at the “Bernabeu” Pep Guardiolapraising the “queen” and emphasizing that his team showed their personality with their performance in the second half.
What the Manchester City coach said in detail:
“It was a fantastic match! We started well and got the quick goal, but it’s very difficult to play against Real because they defend really well and the speed they have up front is incredible, so it’s impossible to control their counter-attacks. We were a bit nervous with the ball at our feet in the first half and after going 2-1 down we made mistakes that we don’t usually make. But in the second half we showed our personality with the way we played.
We played with a lot of composure, much better than the first half and scored two fantastic goals. But we equalized at the end, 76, 77 minutes on this pitch seems like an eternity. We know it and we get the draw. Now we have to win at home to qualify. I am sure that Real Madrid will score at our home as well”.
