Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois says Manchester City's midfield had too much time which allowed Kevin de Bruyne's equaliser last night.

Vini Jr's opener was canceled out by De Bruyne's long range drive as the Champions League semifinal first-leg finished 1-1.

Courtois said, "Both teams played well. You have to not give them the space that Gndoan and Bernardo Silva can find easily and we did that. As a result, they were shooting from distance and that's where the goal came from.

"It's a good draw. There's everything to play for next week. It will be like a final and I hope we can put that in our minds.

"Although it's away, we are quite good in finals so I hope we can visualise it like that, even though it's City. It will be tough."
