Pep Guardiola, Manchester City boss, has hailed his team’s high press for their 2-1 win over Real Madrid on Friday night.
Guardiola, speaking to BT Sport, said: “We created a lot of chances and scored two goals with mistakes from them. We tried to convince them to go, go and attack but it is not easy against this team.
On pressing teams, the former Barcelona manager added: “We try to do it, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t. In general we did a good job.
“It is important, we beat them twice. Zinedine Zidane never lost knockout games. You see the calm and personality they play with, they are good. We are here to try and win the Champions League. It is one step, if we think that is enough we will show how small we are. If you want to win you have to beat the big clubs.”
