Additionally, it appears in the video that Alfie made a crude gesture towards the home crowd. By responding and regaining parity, Manchester City did so in part because of Kevin De Bruyne’s stunning second-half goal. The game finished 1-1 since no additional goals were scored.
Pep Guardiola is satisfied with the outcome.
After the game, Pep Guardiola addressed the media and expressed his satisfaction with the outcome. According to the official Manchester City website, he stated that the game was really close. The teams are usually so challenging in this competition and situation because of their history, but mainly because of their calibre.
They had a strong start, he continued, and when they got better, Real Madrid produced an amazing transition from Camavinga and an amazing finish from Vinicius. They also scored a goal in the second half when Real outperformed them. He is currently anticipating the second leg, which will be held at Etihad.
