Guardiola on how City can improve against Real Madrid
Guardiola, speaking to BT Sport after the game said: "It was a tight, tight game, Bernabeu semi-final is always difficult.

"We start really well in the second half as well," Guardiola insisted. "Five, ten minutes, then after they got the game, we could not take it.
"They are really, really good but after we make a fantastic goal from Kevin and we had some good moments. Then at the end they also have a few chances. It was a tight, tight game."
