Pep Guardiola said there were no words he could say to Manchester City players to console them after their Champions League defeat to Real Madrid.
City were two goals ahead going into the 90th minute of the second leg of their semi-final yet conceded twice in two minutes to see their advantage wiped out, before a Karim Benzema penalty at the beginning of extra time sent the Spanish side through to a final against Liverpool. It is the latest in a long line of Champions League disappointments for City under Guardiola, who is still to win the competition with the club.
The Blues must pick themselves up for a Premier League game with Newcastle on Sunday, given there are four matches left and the club cannot afford any slip-ups if they are to hold off Liverpool. Guardiola revealed that he had not said a word to his players since the Real Madrid game, but would remind them how good they have been all season when they train on Saturday.
