When asked if he feels that Real Madrid are playing like Champions League favorites after their 3-1 win over his side, Man City boss Pep Guardiola stated: “The better team won tonight.
“Real Madrid were the best team and they won, it’s deserved. Do Real Madrid look like UCL winners again? Of course, a contender. But there’s a lot of good teams.
“I’ve come across the best Madrid in recent years, they’re capable of having long possessions, of defending, of running, when they want to go high, when they’re low… Nothing, congratulations.”
Real Madrid comprehensively defeated Man City with a 6-3 margin across both legs to knock them out of the competition.
They’ll now face either Atletico Madrid or Bayer Leverkusen in the next round of the Champions League.
