Pep Guardiola promised his Manchester City side “will be back” next season after Real Madrid ended their Champions League hopes for a fourth time in the last five years.
City always faced an uphill task in the second leg of this last-16 tie after their 3-0 defeat at the Bernabeu last week, but things got harder 20 minutes in when skipper Bernardo Silva was sent off for stopping Vinicius Junior’s shot with an elbow on the line, with the Brazilian scoring the penalty.
