RodriManchester City defender, hung 1-1 by Real Madrid on Tuesday at the Bernabéu in the first leg of the Champions League, at the microphone of BT Sport:
«It’s always difficult when you come here (to the Bernabéu, editor’s note). The guys were incredible, we made the necessary efforts. Sometimes it’s difficult against this team, because they are full of qualities. In the first 25-30 minutes, we controlled the game so well, but they were able to score on their first chance. We continued to believe in our philosophy, we continued to play even if it was hard. The key was to shoot in the axis. I tried my luck a few times, and Kevin also scored from there. In the last minutes, we fought to keep the ball, it takes a lot of concentration because, when you lose it, you know it will be very difficult to win it back. (De Bruyne) He’s a huge player, he’s always been excellent and he always helps us when we need him the most. With his goal, he gave us the confidence to keep pushing. But we knew that whatever happened here, it wasn’t going to be the end. We have a second game at home and we will need our supporters».
