By Jamie Spencer Manchester City midfielder Rodri has claimed "only one team" was trying to win on Wednesday night as Real Madrid snatched victory on penalties in the Champions League quarter-finals. City, seeking to become the first English side to retain the European Cup since Nottingham Forest in 1980, dominated the second leg at the Etihad Stadium, controlling the majority of possession and out-shooting their opponent by a ratio of four to one. But it was Madrid who scored the opening goal of the game to move 4-3 ahead on aggregate when Rodrygo fired home inside 12 minutes. The only one of...

By Tom Gott Carlo Ancelotti insists Real Madrid had to play defensive football to have any hope of beating Manchester City on Wednesday. Madrid needed penalties to dump Pep Guardiola's side out of the Champions League quarter-finals after 120 minutes of action which saw Madrid concede 67% possession and 33 shots on goal, mustering just eight efforts of their own. In the face of some criticism of his tactics, Ancelotti insisted that was the only way Madrid would be able to stop City. "We started well, got ahead and then started to defend, to suffer to qualify," Ancelotti said. "We thought of pl...

By Tom Gott After 210 minutes of play and a penalty shoot-out, Real Madrid finally got their name in the Champions League semi-final at Manchester City's expense. They had to hang on for a 1-1 draw in regular time and were fighting for their lives at times, but Madrid are at their best when wounded and they once again got the job done against perhaps the favourite to win the entire tournament. Rodrygo opened the scoring in the first half with a scrappy finish that came around after Kyle Walker played the Brazilian onside. Unfortunately for the City defender, eagle-eyed fans were keen to let hi...

By Tom Gott Real Madrid booked their place in the semi-final of the Champions League by sneaking through against Manchester City on penalties. Rodrygo poked Madrid ahead in the first half but Kevin De Bruyne deservedly tied things up after the break, ultimately sending the tie to extra time and ultimately spot-kicks. Bernardo Silva and Mateo Kovacic both saw efforts saved by Andriy Lunin, who celebrated into the night as Madrid were confirmed as winners. How the game unfoldedWhile we needed just two minutes for the opening goal last week, it was 12 this time around. Vinicius Junior's low cross...

By Katie Catherall Pep Guardiola admits his side love playing under pressure as they look to overcome Real Madrid in the second leg of their Champions League quarter-final tie. City won their maiden Champions League title last season thanks to Rodri's goal in the final against Inter, completing a historic treble that also saw them win the Premier League and lift the FA Cup for the second time under Guardiola. The Spaniard is bidding to become the first manager to guide an English side to back-to-back trebles, and they have a tremendous chance of doing so after this past weekend's results in th...

By Joshua Browne Pep Guardiola has stepped forward to support Erling Haaland after the Manchester City striker's recent form was hit with heavy criticism. Following some below par performances against Liverpool, Arsenal, and Real Madrid, the likes of Jamie Carragher and Roy Keane have publicly questioned Haaland's role in the team, with the latter claiming he plays more like a 'League Two player'. Guardiola defended Haaland last month and, after the striker's showing in City's 3-3 draw with Madrid brought further criticism, has once again moved to brush off concerns about the Norwegian's impac...
