Jack Grealish admitted that his scrap with Real Madrid defender Dani Carvajal caused him physical problems.
After 90 minutes of sheer thrilling intensity in the Bernabeu, the two sides will head to the Etihad next week with the tie locked at 1-1 after Kevin de Bruyne's second half stunner cancelled out Vinicius Jnr's equally sublime strike. But for all the liquid football on show, there was also no shortage of controversy either, with the former Aston Villa man at the heart of one volatile incident during a long-running battle with the Spain international.
While trying to retrieve a long ball down the left, the midfielder was shunted in the back by home full-back Carvajal, sending him into the advertising hoardings. The star reacted angrily, making contact with Carvajal's arm before his opposite number dubiously went down holding his face.
