    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    Tudor opted to rest key players for their last group stage match against City, which they lost 5-2. Despite his team being outclassed by the English side, Tudor urged his team to learn lessons, saying: "Defeats are part of the game and of life, you accept them and move on. It will serve as a lesson to us to grow."

    Tudor spoke about Madrid and the challenge, saying: "Real Madrid are always strong in these tournaments, I expect a difficult match against a team that has great qualities and has always shown its value in every competition. We have prepared, we want to play our cards and get through to the next round. I explained to the lads that these are the best matches to play . Everyone wants to beat Real Madrid and we want to try too. You have to live it this way, also showing great courage . Even if at the moment they are stronger than us, we have developed a strategy to try to beat them."
