Man City Out of UCL:Bellingham enjoys 'beautiful' win as Pep rues missed chances

Jude Bellingham revelled in Real Madrid's "beautiful" penalty shootout win over Manchester City which sent his side into the Champions League semi-finals, while Pep Guardiola rued the holders' missed chances in the tie.

Kevin De Bruyne equalised for City after Rodrygo's early opener at the Etihad but there was no doubt City were the dominant side on Wednesday night, racking up 33 shots to Real's eight and recording an Expected Goals total of 2.73 to their opponents' 1.4.

However, Bernardo Silva and Mateo Kovacic saw spot-kicks saved and Antonio Rudiger converted the decisive penalty to send Real into the final four, avenging their semi-final loss to City from last season.

"It's a relief because you put so much into the game," said Bellingham, speaking to TNT Sports.

"I have played against City when you have been close, you think you are going to get something out of it and then suddenly they snatch it away from you. You have to work really hard to beat them. To win the game was a massive reward.

"It is incredible. Moments like this are magic and it just comes down to mentality. When you get those details right and you get those little moments, like the penalties, when the lads keep their cool, it is magic. This was beautiful.

"My brother is here today and it is the first time he has been able to see me playing for Madrid. I feel really proud about that."

City boss Guardiola was philosophical about the defeat for his side but couldn't avoid the fact he felt the tie should have been settled before the shootout, given the number of chances his team created.

"First of all, congratulations to Real Madrid," said Guardiola afterwards.

"We did everything, I don't have any regrets. Always, you try as a manager to create more and concede
