After the match, Guardiola said: "Fantastic goals for all three [of City’s] and Valverde as well. We were unfortunate for the deflections but it’s football.
"What I liked most is how we played in the second half, 2-1 down playing here without much composure.
"They are so dangerous on transitions and could score more goals but we controlled the game really well.
"One of the key points in these games is being stable emotionally. It’s fundamental. Take the good moments and be stable in the bad moments.
"It’s Madrid, it’s special. We go 2-3 but here it is never over. We take the result – in one week [on Wednesday] in Manchester it will be sold out and our people will help us to score one goal and we will do the rest. We will try to reach the semi-final."
