Man City 2-3 Real Madrid: John Stones describes “anger and frustration” as City twice in the Champions League match | Football news

Defender John Stones talked about an overwhelming feeling of “anger and frustration” following the defeat of Manchester City 3-2 against Real Madrid, after he surrendered twice in the first stage of the director’s draw.

Erling Haland City put every half in an exciting competition, but the Champions League holders answered through Kylian MBAPPE and Prahim Diaz.

Both sides struck the wooden works in a game of many opportunities, but it was England, Jude Bellingham, who had the final statement at the time of stopping.

This is the fourth consecutive season, and the sides were associated with the stages of the knockout, with the passage of another epic collision in the back leg in Bernabeu within eight days.

“I don’t know how to put it in words immediately, it is raw and frustrated for everyone,” Stones said.

“We were in the game until very late, and after that two cases we spoke and decided. It is frustrating as a defender to give up this result.

“It is an angry and frustrated.

“We need to see games better. The manager said we need to bear accountability for what we do on the field, and I think we are doing so. We need an escalation when these bad moments occur.

“Today we have a great opportunity to go to Bernabeu 2-1. This is not done. We have to remain positive, which is difficult now.

As the director says we need to look at ourselves and bear accountability. “

Guardiola: We are not stable enough to deal with pressure

Pep GuardiolaAnd, who was appointed by five players in his position in his choice in an attempt to cancel the attacking threat of Real Madrid, felt “making bad decisions”, as City twice made the mistakes that led to goals.

Esrson was wrong for the Diaz level, while alternative Rico Lewis was calculated as Bellingham kidnapped another winner of GASP.

Guardiola failed to win any of its last four matches in the Champions League in which they first scored, and they have now abdicated 57 goals in 38 games in all competitions this season – already three more than another term.

“The players make decisions at the present time, sometimes it works, and sometimes it does not do it,” Guardiola said.

“Today, composure to managing the situations that we did not have, it was several times. So, thought, thought, and perhaps in the future it will not happen. Be brave, and go forward in the following games.

“Today it was tight. I am completely honest with myself, today we have opportunities and play well with the ball, and the association was higher than the past (games), but at moments we must win the situation that we could not run.

“I have been here for many years and I was part of an unusual team, which is an incredible machine, but now I can’t give the team to manage these situations. This is the truth.

“The blame belongs to all of us, I have no problem to accept it not working as if it was working in the past. It will be easy to blame one player, and this is ridiculous, it’s not working. I am first.

Ballon d’or banner gave me strength – Venice Junior

Vinicius Junior claimed that he had shot by Manchester City fans banner after playing the star in Real Madrid’s dramatic victory at Al -Ittihad.

The visiting side received through a huge flag before the match on Tuesday at the Itid Stadium, which makes fun of the second place in the first place in the city’s midfield player, Rodri, in voting for the Ballon D’Or Award last year and Real Real Corps in celebration.

The banner, which Guardiola claimed he had not seen, showed a huge image of Rodri kissing his cup alongside a message “Stop Crying Your Heart” – the title of a song by the will support the city.

However, it was the real one who was laughing, as the sign made badly counterproductive, as Vinicius had a great match as the Spaniards came twice from behind to win 3-2.

“I saw it, I saw the sign. Whenever opposing fans do things like they give me more strength to get a great game and here I did it.”

“Man City has no chance to qualify”

Sky Sports’ Paul MERSON:

“It was a state of blatant mistakes from Man City. The old man was playing a game from 90 to 95 minutes every week. They couldn’t do that now.

“I do not know what it is, whether they are closed only or whether it is just a aging team. The older, the greater you get tired, and if you feel tired, the more mistakes you make. It seems that it is only a change.

“They have achieved well in a lot of the game. Of course, they sometimes installed their luck as they do against the quality aspect like Real Madrid.

“But they will feel very disappointed. We are not even in mid -February until now, and Man City only plays for the FA Cup.

“I don’t give them a chance at the second station. I have seen enough in Real Madrid to know that they can open the city like a knife through butter.”
