Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola shut down expectations that his side should have won the first leg of their Champions League semi final.
The Citizens took on Real Madrid in Spain on Tuesday, earning a 1-1 draw to take to the home leg on Wednesday next week.
After the game, Guardiola was asked if his side were not at their best, considering they were heavy favorites going into the game.
Speaking to BT Sport, Guardiola said: "We were better when they scored, they were better when we scored. It was a tight game.
Real Madrid in the semi-final is always a tough one. We turned up, we had good moments, it's difficult with the quality they have on and off the ball. 1-1, final next Wednesday with our people.
"We started really well in the first-half, but then they made a lot of passes, they are really, really good at that," he added.
"But after we scored a really good goal from Kevin, we had good moments. They had a few good chances."
