Head coach of English Manchester City Pep Guardiola said in a commentary on the official website of UEFA that his team played really well in the return leg of the Champions League quarterfinal match against Real Madrid.
Recall that the meeting was held on April 17 at the Etihad Stadium in Manchester (England) and ended in a draw in regulation time - 1:1. Los Blancos were stronger in the penalty shootout (3:4). Thus, according to the results of two matches (3:4), Real Madrid will advance to the semifinals of the Champions League, where they will play two matches against Bayern Munich.
I would have preferred to win but congratulations to Real Madrid. They defended so deep with incredible solidarity and we did everything. We played exceptionally in all departments and unfortunately we could not win. Football is about scoring goals and from the penalty spot they did it a bit better than us.

Recall that Carlo Ancelotti became the only coach who knocked Guardiola's teams out of the Champions League three times.
