WHAT THEY SAID: "Everyone thought we would see City destroy Real Madrid," claimed the reporter for beIN SPORTS, to which Guardiola replied: "Who's everyone? Do you know who we are playing against?

"Do you know how many Champions League titles they [Real Madrid] have? It's not my fault you thought we would win 6-0."

THE BIGGER PICTURE: Los Blancos are in hot pursuit of their 15th Champions League crown this season after winning the competition again last year and took the lead on the night thanks to a superb strike from Vinicius Junior. They couldn't hold on, though, with Kevin De Bruyne ensuring City headed back to Manchester on level terms with a fantastic goal of his own.
