Spanish press hail Real Madrid despite being held to a draw by Man City in the Champions League... insisting Antonio Rudiger 'annulled' Erling Haaland and that Carlo Ancelotti had a 'more effective' plan than Pep Guardiola

Spanish press have hailed Real Madrid's performance against Manchester City, despite being held to a 1-1 draw at the Santiago Bernabeu.

The two sides will meet again next Wednesday at the Etihad to decide who reaches the Champions League final, after Vinicius Jnr's excellent goal was cancelled out an equally impressive strike from Kevin De Bruyne last night.

Spanish outlets have set the scene for next week's clash, with Marca describing it as the 'final at the Etihad' while AS Sport ran with the headline 'see you in Manchester'.

While it wasn't the perfect outcome for Carlo Ancelotti's side to fail to take away a lead into the second-leg, Spanish press had a number of reasons to be optimistic following their performance.
