It is really hard to say at such a low moment, but I think the facts set are quite naked that Man City are so far below the level they had to be to compete against Real Madrid in Spain, he wrote Sky Sports News reporter Ben ransom in Madrid.
Since I arrived in Madrid a few days ago, there was a growing belief that, despite the first leg, despite the way it was to finish, City would come here and really cause to achieve Madrid, to bother them.
I think that was the most that was mostly related to Pep Guardiola on Wednesday night – that the team was not a team we were used to seeing. They were unrecognizable in the sense that they did not create enough problems with the ball.
