The Spanish star made a controversial statement after Manchester City were eliminated on penalties, following a 1-1 draw in regulation time.
“Trying to find explanations is difficult, after all football doesn’t understand anything about deserving, it understands who can score. In the only chance they had, they scored, we kept pressing the whole match and managed to draw.”
“We knew it would be a difficult match, but not that they would play defense like that, football is difficult to analyze, we have the feeling that Real Madrid wanted to drag the game out until penalties, but anyway, now we just have to move on ”.
