Pep Guardiola did not to speak to Man City’s players after crushing Real Madrid defeat

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola admits he has not spoken to his players about the Champions League semi-final exit to Real Madrid on Wednesday night .

Guardiola’s side were in touching distance of a second final in as many seasons, heading into stoppage time 5-3 up on aggregate before a last-gasp Rodrygo double took the tie to extra-time.

Karim Benzema’s penalty in extra-time saw Real seal a 3-1 win on the night, 6-5 on aggregate, and a place in the final later this month against Liverpool in Paris. It is similar circumstances to when City missed out on the 2016 final to Real, a defeat that also happened at the Estadio Bernabeu.
