A dejected Rodri insisted Manchester City were 'the only team' on the pitch against Real Madrid and was at a loss to explain their penalty shootout loss in the Champions League quarter-finals.

City's quest for a Double Treble came to an abrupt end at the Etihad on Wednesday night as the Spanish giants progressed to the semi-final after winning 4-3 on penalties.

After last week's thrilling 3-3 at the Santiago Bernabeu, the visitors took an early lead as Rodrygo tapped home 12 minutes in.

Real's goal appeared to galvanise Pep Guardiola's men, who dominated proceedings and eventually levelled the score through Kevin De Bruyne's 76th minute goal.
