As they look to defend their premier league title, Manchester City must process and come back from their incredible loss to Real Madrid.
In Spain, Real came back from two goals down to win the game in extra time.
They have a one point lead in the league and face a team on Sunday.
It is difficult for us, I cannot deny that.
We were close to the final.
We need to come back with our people at home and in the last four games.
City looked to be on their way to victory in the tie after Ryoko scored to make it a two-goal deficit.
Two goals from substitute Rodrygo in the final moments of the game gave Real a chance to win it in extra time.
We were not good enough in the first half. But we did not suffer a lot.
We were better after we scored the goal. The players were comfortable and our game was fast. It is not like in the last 10 minutes they attack and you suffer. It did not happen.
They put a lot of players in the box with Eder Militao, Rodrygo, Vinicius Junior, and they put in crosses and scored two goals.
The players feel the pressure and want to do it even though they didn't play their best. The game of football is unpredictable. We have to accept it.
At Barcelona, he won the European Championship twice as a manager.
They have been knocked out in the quarter-finals three times since he joined, and lost in the final last season.
The focus of City now is on the title race, with the side they would have faced in the final of the European competition had they got there.
The day before the City game, the Reds face Spurs.
With the lead at the top so tight with just four games to go, pundits are wondering how much the loss will affect the reigning English champion.
Jonathan Woodgate, a former England defender, told the radio that it was a distressing loss. They could blow up.
You have to be a bit lucky according to Joleon Lescott. Manchester City has fallen at this hurdle before.
There is still a lot of work to be done. The fans need to help lift the team on Sunday.
It has been a long time since he won the title, so I am sure this will be devastating for him.
