Man of the match: Joe Hart

Between 80 and 83 minute of England international twice performed a miracle on the goal line. In the first situation, the City goalkeeper bounced off his foot Casemiro header from six meters, and a moment later instinctively defended niekrytego Pepe shot from just four meters. Absolute hero ends the match. Without his intervention goalless draw would not have been possible.

Disappointment: No Ronaldo

right thigh injury turned out to be more serious than originally expected. Not only that the Portuguese star of Real did not occur in the weekend meeting in the league with Rayo Vallecano is in Tuesday’s semi-final against City does not appear even on the bench. The coach Zinedine Zidane apparently decided it was not worth the risk of deepening injury. I wonder how long it will take a break CR7. April 30 Real play in the Primera Division away to Real Sociedad. So far in the Champions League, Ronaldo scored 93 goals. In turn, The Citizens in prestigious competitions have noted has “barely” 63 hits.

In our opinion:

the issue of promotion is still an open question, and the prospect of a rematch both teams were at the back of the head by performing additional shares at Etihad Stadium. The behavior of a clean sheet in this match was the most important. On the frenzied attack, attacking play and exchange punches will have to wait until May 4 and the meeting at the Santiago Bernabeu. The more that eight days on a pitch likely there will have Cristiano Ronaldo.
