“He’s the BIGGEST problem in this Real Madrid team. He almost cause them to lose the quarter finals to Man city”- Real Madrid legend Cristiano Ronaldo names the Real Madrid man who will cost them the Champions League title this season .
A word from Ruben Dias …
“I don’t know what to say,” says the Manchester City defender. “It’s very frustrating. We dominated the whole game. You go to penalties. The effort was there. We had chances. It’s a difficult one to take.
“You always end up doing everything to try to avoid penalties because that’s what they wanted. The team was there. We fought, we had our chances but it wasn’t our day.
“We had the chances. Sometimes the ball goes in, sometimes it doesn’t. Now we have to look forward at what’s to come in the season. We won’t have much time to rest. It’s a busy part of the season. Now is a time to be strong especially in the head. We’re still in two important competitions.”
Next up for City? An FA Cup semi-final against Chelsea at Wembley on Saturday.
They squeak through on penalties after misses in the shoot-out from Mateo Kovacic and Bernardo Silva. Antonio Rudiger held his nerve to take the decisive spot-kick and Real Madrid’s players are celebrating wildly in front of the travelling fans. Pep Guardiola and Carlo Ancelotti share a very warm embrace but the champions are out. There’ll be no double-treble for Manchester City and Real Madrid will face Bayern Munich in the last four.
