Rio Ferdinand says the Manchester City squad can't be too down after Real Madrid battled to ensure they're still in their Champions League semi-final tie ahead of the second leg next week.
Carlo Ancelotti's side had to fight back as City raced into a 2-0 lead after just 11 minutes. Karim Benzema's brace and Vinicius Junior's solo effort took the shine off a great evening for the home side, with Phil Foden and Bernardo Silva finding the back of the net in the second half.
Real Madrid took a two-goal lead back to the Santiago Bernabeu in the previous round and still required extra-time to see off the challenge of holders Chelsea, after Thomas Tuchel's side clawed back the deficit and were at one point on their way to the semi-finals. But for Pep Guardiola, his squad will need to put in another resolute display in the Spanish capital if they are to reach the final.
