Man City 1-1 Real Madrid: Pep Guardiola and Rodri react to City's Champions League exit 

Instead of complaining about Real Madrid, you should wonder how your team couldn't break them down despite having the 120 minutes and penalties if your team is so good at playing for a win.

SO, there was only one team on the pitch and you still couldn't score?

The City vs. Real Madrid game last night reminded me of the Inter vs. Barça 2010 semi-final at Camp Nou, where Jose Mourinho orchestrated a defensive masterclass, containing Barcelona to a 1-0 scoreline despite playing with 10 men. Last night's game was similar in the sense that Carlo Ancelotti seemed to say to Pep Guardiola, 'I've scored my goal; now it's your turn to come at me and show what you've got.' In my opinion, this is how you win against the likes of City and Barcelona's Pep in a knockout game. Mourinho did it, Tuchel did it, and last night, Ancelotti did it.

Give me Freedom, Give me Fire, Give me Luton, Or i Retire - Haaland (Ghost of Manchester)

Thank you Carlo Ancellotti and Real Madrid

Thank you Real Madrid for HUMBLING the 115Fc arrogance 😂

Its not about who deserved to go through. You held on to more possession, finished more passes, had way more shots on target and yet, shame on you, couldn't capitalize on all those opportunities. Its not madrid's fault that they scored an early goal and took on defensive duties. Your possession means nothing if you cant win games. Good luck on your PL though!

rodri jus cant admit how good real madrid were defending

Rodri did not see Real Madrid and their legendary coach, the team with most champions leagues and the best mentality in competition

Haaland and KDB asking to be subbed even though city had the ball for most of the game just highlights how great of a defensive master class Madrid put on.

So much possession and still couldn't score 2nd goal because of Madrid's extra ordinary defending , no space at all, they deserve it to win . No matter how much city players and fans say , it is at last real madrid going through

That one team was leading more than 60 minutes out of 90 minutes.

Rodri: They knew how to suffer… Looks like you the one who’s suffering

That "style of play" thing is pointless. Football is about winning. Carlo could have played like City if he wanted to. But he knows from bitter experiences like the UCL final of 2005 that impressive play is meaningless. And that it should even be sacrificed for results. Carlo is far more experienced and has a deeper understanding of the philosophy and nature of football than coaches like Pep and Klopp. And he proves this time and again on the big stages. Carlo rocks.

Idky Rodri is so salty💀. Whys bro acting like there’s only one way to win a game? What makes it even funnier and ironic is he played under Simeone 💀

Are they crazy? They play back pass after back pass and try and catch teams on the press. Now when they’re parking the bus, leading on the aggregate, you criticize them? Because they didn’t play how you wanted?

There is only one team crying in the corner

Madrid did what Madrid does: defended deep and was dangerous on the counter. This is no accident. Madrid deserved to win.

I was celebrating with Real Madrid last night. Hopefully the celebrations will continue after the 115 financial breaches get investigated!

only weakness pep got is if other parks bus , shot out to mourinho for exposing his weakness in 2009/2010 during inter ucl run

There is attack, mid field and defence in football. A team can adopt one of these or a mixture of these to varying degrees as their chosen style for a match. Real Madrid in this game chose to play defence as their main focus while city chose attack as their main focus. However the pundits believe that since Madrid didn't choose attack, they didn't dominate the game. Guardiola on the other hand wants us to believe that because he chose attack and his team underperformed in their execution of this strategy, they are the ones who deserve to go through, not Madrid who satisfactorily executed their strategy and dominated the game defensively. Rodri however believes only one team played at the Etihad. These guys need to go and do some thinking.

Legend has it that pep is still at atihad waiting for the game to start

My only message to this Rodri guy is that this time we suffered and we won, next seasons on ward you'll suffer and we will still win. Madrid's new era of dominance is about to begin and you know why

Like wtf happened to rodris eyebrows

But dear Rodri when you were playing for Atlitico we didn't see the team at all.

33 shots 1 goal....what a fantastic way to lose 🤣💀 against 3rd choice defender(nacho) 2nd choice defender (rudiger) 3rd choice goalkeeper(lunin) and no natural striker. .. 🤣Keane was right 1:34

Im genuinely grateful for bots trolling the comment section 😂

I noticed both teams respect each other so much, it's good to see.

Me reacting to city going out 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

City fans are complaining the same way Mamelodi Sundowns fans were complaining about Wydad Casablanca's defensive tactics 😂

One team wanted to play football and that team was Real Madrid. A team that wants to play football is the team that makes good use of their chances, not a team that keeps the ball. Football is a serious business.

My name is Pep Guardiola and I do honestly think Kovacic can replace Kevin De Bruyne in the midfield for the last minutes of the match and certainly shoot penalties better. What I need the team to have a control on the ball. We didn't win? That's fine, just look how well we controlled the ball.

Foden played like shiet, which is rarely, Haaland just bad, which is always in big matches, and De Bruyne was missing a golden opportunity, that's that, nothing wrong with Madrid playing defense, it's football.

Humbling Rodri and man city was an absolute pleasure 😂

How can a player so dominant and was 2nd in ballon d'or rankings last year ask the coach to sub him off when the team actually needs him💀 what a clown

Only one team wanted to play only one team wanted to win

If only one team played football then only one team would’ve won ahhhhhh

You had 120 minutes being the " best team in the world " and you couldnt score a second before pens, thats the real issue

"Only one team played". Nah, you were only moving the ball around for two hours, and scored only after a mistake.

Now i see one team playing football and city at home watching them.

115fc was humbled. Arab money can't always save you 😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣

Don Carlo masterclass

Real Madrid used experience to win the game... Sometimes in football it have to come to that. Real madrid can play at the highest level you can think of but they saw that they didn't came out firing so thats where the experience came in. Thank you Hala Madrid 🙏 One game at a time.

it's crazy that after seeing how well real were defending he decided to gamble on a possible last minute goal instead of keeping haaland in for the inevitable shootout. they lost by exactly 1 kick, which haaland would've made lmao. i bet those two had a real fun chat in the locker room post game

Rodri's on fire, Rodri is out of the champions league, nanananananna🎶🎶🎶🎶

Rodri is mad a overrated cry baby .. English teams are overrated this is MADRID

"ill be honest today i only saw one team" So did I, and they went on to the champions league semi final 🤣🤣

Cry me a river. Defending is part of the game and Real is the best in the world because they adopt to win instead of moaning.

Vini and Rodrygo continue to carry Madrid although credit seems to be shifted to Bellingham for some other reasons.

Why didn't Rodri take a penalty?

He saw only one team on pitch. What?? Then who stopped them from scoring 100 goals yesterday? 😅😅😂 They should have saved at least 1 goal when they played against luton at weekend . It would be useful yesterday 😅😅😅

City came to play fanciful football, and they did that. However, madrid came just to win, and they did that. So both side achieved their objectives.

Carlo knows man-for-man he can't do jack against Pep..Open play he'll lose to Pep so he went in there with an Italian Defensive tactics after he scores

Bunch of crybabies

Poets can go back home and think about control🤡 Warriors will go forward 🙂

So proud of this team. Whoever wins the Champions league, City is still the best team in the world.

Difference btw a team with history and without....

115fc

Only one team. The one that goes to the next round. Don't forget you are playing against a team with 14 CLs.

Its a compliment of epic proportions that this real madrid team played the way they did against city

Where are Rodri's eyebrows

Someone remind rodri that They have more champions League than your whole of England combined 😂😂

Heart Break💔

I totally agree. Just one thing, sometimes i am frustrated to see city players not shooting on goal when they have a clear chance but instead passing. When you can't find a way through a defence even after 90 minutes, you take every long shot possible on goal.

well I only saw one team proceed

Rodri learning the Barsa way: crying.

They sees one team on the pitch who try, we see one great team who fight, defend, sufered, rezist, strong phiscaly and mentaly till the end and deserve to win...

Losing to Real is no shame, they are the biggest club in the world, they are the champion league.

Ancelotti does it again...

Dominating means nothing if you can't win 😂😂 Real all the way

115* FC 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Offence wins you matches but defense wins you titles - Sir Alex Ferguson

Rodri using the van dijk excuse and doesnt get the same stick😂😂😂😂😂

Man City lives rent free in your head bro, they are so good and shall continue to give you sleepless nights 😂😂😂! Watch them again this weekend in another FA cup semi-final

He once said that City would overtake Madrid's 14 UCL trophies and Madrid is lacking of tactics and 1st leg game he said improve the field's bernabeu poor grass??? Go buy another expensive player next summer and spend club money again and then left it with bad condition of finance as you did before

I sincerely love his (Pep Guardiola) humility even in face of defeat. We saw what happen last 2years in this very same competition where Real Madrid won the match 1-0 against an unlucky Liverpool side. You can't take it away from a resilience Real Madrid. I still love how direct Rodri spoke.👌

City are class and humble. that will take you far the lineage of success

Is the new fashion to have 100 slits in your eyebrows?

And you compare messi to haaland, this alone speak volumes

Bro look at those stats, how did we only put one chance away? Smh just give Madrid the trophy already

Only one team tried to play ? Well you tried to play and you lost deal with it

Haland is the most overrated striker I have seen. This is for the frauds who compare him with Aguero

Rodri cries every time they lose. He said the same when Leicester thrashed them 5-2 at the Etihad haha

Ancelotti to Pep : Hey you can take the ball with you, we are going to bayern😂😂😂

Haagland isn't a big game player yet.

Its ironic that rodri once played under simeone, who employed the same tactics and even more extreme yet still lost, now he cry about it

"we can play against a big side like Madrid" Ahhh, the financial minnows, otherwise known as Man City.

0:35 oh pls suffer? You're out bro😂

Rodri correction one team will never play football

Yohh Rodri ... Possession doesn't win you the match ,Mentality Does 💯🙏🔥

Thank you pep for building this team. You won it for me. All teams fear you and they play either for draw or drag you to penalties. You are a class.

I dont understand that comment of only one team wanted to play, last time i checked defending is part of the game, so yes Real Madrid was playing too, otherwise they wouldnt have won...lol

As much as passing the ball to boredom, defending is part of football.

One team wanted to play football and one team wanted to win 👍🏼

Gotta give some credit to Lunin tho, pretty good got a 3rd choice goalkeeper.

Congrats to both teams, both had a great and tough game, but only deserve to reach the next level. Importance of Los Blancos to upgrade their roster once the season end. and It is highly recommended and a MUST for Real Madrid management, board of directors, coaching staff, people working in their club who are involved on the transfer-market to permanently sell who are currently out on loan to play for another football club, do not offer a loan with buy back clause or with a number or percentage rights, recall or return players that are currently on-loan by another football club to play for Real Madrid, ageing ((28) years old and above), inconsistent (due to limited playing time, never have played and always on the bench, poor defensively, not performing well) regardless of age, injury prone, those who are not comfortable playing in different position, that MUST happen on or before July 2027. We are referring to Modric, Kroos, José Ignacio Fernández Iglesias "Nacho", José Luis Mato Sanmartín "Joselu", Vasquez, Daniel Carvajal Ramos "Dani Carvajal", Courtois, Alaba, Rudiger, Arrizabalaga, Mendy, Daniel Ceballos Fernández "Dani Ceballos" Jesús Vallejo Lázaro "Jesus Vallejo", Francisco José García Torres "Fran Garcia", Diaz, Juan Miguel Latasa Fernández "Juanmi Latasa", Reinier Jesus Carvalho "Reinier", Rafael Marín Zamora "Rafa Marin", Nicolás "Nico" Paz Martínez, & Guler. Once they get sold these are the players should be sign based on their positions on or before July 2027. Right Back: Jesus Fortea, Malo Gusto Left Back: Alphonso Davies, Miguel Gutierrez Centre Back: William Saliba, Leny Yoro, Dean Huijsen Main Striker: Kylian Mbappe Lastly Real Madrid must never offer a contract to these players for a RIGHT BACK position, that are inconsistent regardless of age, poor defensively, has disadvantage of height and strength (lacks muscles), proven already that unable to stop wingers/strikers in different leagues, injury-prone, has beyond 60 million euro's transfer-market value, and ageing 27 years old and above, and turning 27 years old and above on year 2027. We are referring to Walker (33), Trippier (33), Di Lorenzo (30), Cancelo (29), Dumfries (27), White (26), Mazraoui (26), Wan-Bissaka (26), Alexander-Arnold (25), Hakimi (25), Tomiyasu (25), Royal (25), Dalot (25), Porro (24), James (24), Frimpong (23), Couto (21), Livramento (21), Bradley (20), Sanchez (20), Lewis (19) and Fresneda (19).

In knock out stages City needs to play direct football, do not pass too much, just shoot when got chance. Real Madrid had very good defense. But overall City were a better team in the second half. Sometimes you lose even when you play better and that is football.

The world has not seen a Real Madrid that is not so much backed into a corner and only trembles in front of its own goal in the last 50 years, Manchester City was able to do that. But the final result was unfortunately in favor of the quacks and pretenders. Viva MC! - millions miss your creative and beautiful play!

"We should go through in terms of chances and everything".....nah apparently, the only metric that matters at the end of the day is how many goals, not how many chances or any other combination of 115 other things. The kings of Europe continue on.

So Pep throws Haaland and De Bruyne under the bus and nothing is made of it, Ten Hag questions Sancho's performance in training and Sky makes a big thing of it for a weeks on end.
