The holders were beaten 4-3 on spot-kicks by the Spanish giants after their quarter-final tie ended 4-4 on aggregate 바카라� 1-1 on the night 바카라� despite a dominant display from Guardiola바카라�s side in the second leg at the Etihad Stadium.

City fell behind early to a Rodrygo goal but created a host of chances as they sought to regain control of the tie but Kevin De Bruyne바카라�s 76th-minute equaliser was their only reward.

City manager Guardiola said: 바카라�I would have preferred to win but congratulations to Real Madrid, they defended so deep with incredible solidarity and we did everything.

바카라�I don바카라�t have any regrets about what we have done. Always we try to create more chances and concede less, because we believe that helps you to win and we did everything.

바카라�We played exceptionally in all departments and unfortunately we could not win.바카라�

Bernardo Silva and Mateo Kovacic both missed in the shoot-out, with the former바카라�s effort proving a particularly comfortable save for Andriy Lunin.

Guardiola refused to blame the Portuguese for his failure to register.

He said: 바카라�Bernardo asked to take it, he바카라�s a reliable player and decided to shoot in that way. What a game he had played. It happens.바카라�

Guardiola also had no complaints about Real바카라�s tactics, with the Spanish side forced to sit back and defend deep for much of the game.

바카라�I don바카라�t judge,바카라� he said. 바카라�I바카라�m not here to do this. It바카라�s football. In this competition, that바카라�s the way football happens.바카라�

City바카라�s loss also ended their hopes of winning a second successive treble and they must now pick themselves up for Saturday바카라�s FA Cup semi-final against Chelsea at Wembley.

Guardiola said: 바카라�Now we will rest and on Friday we travel to London to play the game.

바카라�We will see how people will react. Of course the recovery is easier when winning, rather than losing, but it is the semi-final of the FA Cup and we will try to compete as much as possible.바카라�

Real manager Carlo Ancelotti admitted the strength of City had forced them to soak up pressure and look to take the tie on penalties.

The veteran Italian said: 바카라�We defended really, really well. This was about survival. Madrid is a club based on always fighting to stay in situations where there seems to be no way out 바카라� but we always find a way.

바카라�By the time the penalty shoot-out came, we were totally convinced we바카라�d go through.

바카라�This is about the only way you can come to City and win. You work, sacrifice and win however you can.바카라�
