I saw what Jude Bellingham did before and during Real Madrid clash to show how he feels about Man City
Manchester City are out of the Champions League after a heartbreaking penalty shootout exit to Real Madrid in their epic quarter-final.
Real had taken the lead early on, beating the offside trap to convert at the second attempt through Rodrygo. It would take an hour of patient play, slow build-up and chances slowly being carved out until City were level. Jack Grealish had been brilliant for over an hour and eyebrows were raised when he was replaced - but Jeremy Doku was an inspired introduction in his place.

The Belgian wasted two good chances before the 90 minutes were up, but extra time would follow to extend this enthralling tie. Penalties were needed to decide the tie, with Bernardo Silva and Mateo Kovacic missing their spot-kicks to allow Real a chance to progress - an opportunity they wouldn't pass up after a heroic defensive effort on their part.
