In the aftermath of Manchester City's heartbreaking Champions League quarter-final loss to Real Madrid, midfielder Rodri expressed frustration with Madrid's tactical approach. Despite dominating the match, City succumbed to Real Madrid on penalties after a 1-1 draw, ending their European title defense.
Rodri lamented Real's defensive tactics, stating, "To be honest, I saw only one team." He acknowledged Real's resilience but believed City should have capitalized on their numerous chances. City's relentless attacking efforts were met with staunch defense from Real, leading to a gritty battle that ultimately favored the Spanish giants.
Despite the disappointment, Rodri emphasized the need to move forward, with City facing an FA Cup semi-final against Chelsea. However, concerns loom over the fitness of key players Erling Haaland and Kevin De Bruyne, both of whom were forced off due to injury during the match.
Manager Pep Guardiola confirmed their substitutions were due to injury, highlighting the challenges City faced in their quest for victory.
