Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola stated that Real Madrid’s talent and quality gave them an advantage over his squad, which lost 3-0 in the Champions League last-16 first leg.

Madrid’s captain, Federico Valverde, scored three goals in the first half as the club dominated City at the Bernabeu.

The loss leaves Guardiola’s players with a mountain to climb ahead of Tuesday’s second leg at the Etihad Stadium.

Guardiola told TNT Sports:”Real Madrid had the ability and the quality. It is what it is.

“I felt we were better than the result. Now is the time to recover.

“I had a feeling that we were better than the result said…but the result is here.

“We have one week and then we will see them at the Etihad.”
