Phil Foden regrets the missed Manchester City chances that mean they failed to kill off Real Madrid at the first time of asking. The Blueswill go to the Bernabeu next week defending a 4-3 lead after missing a host of golden opportunities — with Foden and Riyad Mahrez the main culprits.
Foden dragged a shot wide when sent clean through by Kevin de Bruyne in the first half and then hit a shot straight at Dani Carvajal on the line when Mahrez's shot cannoned off a post straight to him. With the Algerian also provoking the fury of manager Pep Guardiola when he smashed another chance into the side netting, City could already have the semi-final wrapped up.
And Foden admits there is some disappointment at the failure to finish the Spanish side when they were on their knees. He said: “Obviously we are really impressed with the result and it was important that we got the win. But on the other hand, we are a bit disappointed that we didn’t kill the game in the first half.
