Manchester City midfielder Rodri Hernandez was understandably gutted after his side exited the Champions League quarter-finals, but was a little less gracious than might have been expected.
Real Madrid were set back on the edge of the box for almost the entirety of the 120 minutes of the game, registering just two shots on target during the 90 minutes, and not troubling Ederson much thereafter. Rodri’s frustration that they did not make their pressure pay was evident.
“To be honest, I’ve only seen one team today,” he told Mike Minay of the BBC.

Speaking to Movistar+, he did give congratulations to Los Blancos.
“It is worse to try to find an explanation. They scored their only chance. Football does not pay attention to merit, it’s only about putting the ball in the net. We didn’t expect them to be so, so far deep in their setup. We had the feeling that penalties suited them better. It’s their turn again, as usual… Now we have to get the boys up, we still have things to fight for, and congratulate Madrid.”
