Real Madrid will face Bayern Munich in the last four after the German giants beat Arsenal 3-2 on aggregate.
'Most teams would fall apart when City get on top of you but we stood up really well,' said Madrid midfielder Jude Bellingham.
However, City’s defence of the competition came to an end after Bernardo Silva and Mateo Kovacic saw spot-kicks saved by Madrid’s unlikely hero Andriy Lunin. “It’s so difficult. They are continuously probing with the ball and move you around. Most teams would fall apart when City get on top of you but we stood up really well,” said Madrid midfielder Jude Bellingham.Madrid were blown away by an early City blitz in a 4-0 defeat at the Etihad 11 months ago as Pep Guardiola’s men went on to win the competition for the first time.
Bellingham plucked the ball out of the sky with an immaculate touch to set Real roaming down the right. The Madrid goalkeeper saved two more efforts from Grealish at the start of the second half before Guardiola sacrificed the England international for the extra pace of Jeremy Doku.
