Man City vs Real Madrid LIVE: Champions League result and reaction as holders exit after penalty shootout

Madrid defender Nacho speaks to Spanish outlet Movistar: “We suffered a lot tonight because City really put you under the cosh. But we are Real Madrid. We always, always fight until the very end.

“We aren’t used to suffering like that. Normally it’s us putting teams under the cosh like that. But the only thing which mattered, all night, was making sure it was us in the semi-finals. We showed another side of ourselves; we showed we know how to defend deep and win.

“We put on a terrific display of how to defend and, both individually and collectively, this is such a happy feeling,” says Nacho. “I’ve got goosebumps talking about it. We didn’t start the shoot-out too well but we are a proud bunch. We showed our pride and made this a magical night.”

It was a night to forget for Premier League sides in the Champions League as Arsenal crashed out against Bayern Munich courtesy of Joshua Kimmich’s second-half header.

Read Miguel Delaney’s report from the Allianz Arena:

“I don’t know what to say. It’s frustrating - we dominated the whole game and had our chances but it’s difficult to take. The way we control the game, we always do everything we can to try and avoid going to penalties because, in a way, that is what they wanted.

“We had the chances - sometimes the ball goes in, sometimes it doesn’t but now we have to look forward to what’s still to come this season.”

On the FA Cup semi-final against Chelsea on Saturday: “We won’t have much time to rest, it’s a busy part of the season, but now is a moment to be strong, especially in the head, as we are still fighting for two very important competitions.”

“Our biggest strength is Carlo Ancelotti. He finds a way to let a lot of boys play with freedom. We’re so off the cuff. As a man, he fills you with calmness and confidence. I caught him yawning and he said to go out and excite him.

“Moments like this are magic and it just comes down to mentality: when you get those details right and you get those little moments, like the penalties, when the lads keep their cool. It’s magic. This was beautiful; my brother’s here today and it’s the first time he’s been able to see me playing for Madrid. I feel really proud about that.”

“It’s a relief because you put so much into the game. I’ve played against City when you’ve been close, you think you’re going to get something out of it and then suddenly they snatch it away from you. You have to work really hard to beat them. To win the game was a massive reward.

They’re continually probing with the ball, they move you around and take you into positions that you don’t want to go to but you have to otherwise they can punish you and they did with the goal. Most teams would fall apart but we stood up really well and kept working hard.”

On his start to life at Real Madrid: “I could have never dreamt of a start like this. Not just because of the performances but the feeling of playing for the club. You put the badge on your chest and you’re just so grateful. Hopefully plenty more nights like this.”

No Premier League team will be in this year’s semi-finals but there will be English representation in the last four in the form of Bayern’s Harry Kane and Eric Dier as well as Real Madrid’s Jude Bellingham.

Let’s hear from the midfielder now...

Manchester City had 88 touches in the opposition box against Real Madrid; the most on record in a Champions League match since records began. Their 33 shots were also the most in a knockout stage game in the competition since Liverpool (34) versus Atletico Madrid in March 2020.

The winning moment from Antonio Rudiger...

Madrid head to their fans in the away stands to celebrate. Madrid were second-best for large parts of that game but, yet again in this competition, they have found a way.

They will go on to face Bayern in the semi-finals.

GOAL! Rudiger squeezes it past Ederson into the bottom-left corner and Manchester City are out of the Champions League!
