Real Madrid vs. Manchester City again starred in a great match, but this time in the second leg of the Champions League. Pep Guardiola's team could not take advantage of the lead they had in the first leg (4-3) and ended up losing 3-1 at the Santiago Bernabéu, despite being winning 1-0 until the 89th minute.
One of the standout players of the match was goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, who saved more than one ball that was heading for goal. After the match and celebrating with the fans and teammates on the field, the Belgian goalkeeper spoke to the media and said that he didn't think about the comeback until the equalizer.
“Truthfully, no because we weren't doing well in front of goal, we were missing the final passes. Sometimes it doesn't work out, but that goal (the 1-1), that moment, the fans. They (Manchester City) knew that anything could happen,” he said.
