Pep Guardiola cut a familiar figure on Tuesday, proud of his team's fight, frustrated by the circumstances and insistent that Manchester City's future remains bright despite a third straight Champions League elimination at the hands of Real Madrid, Reuters reported.

That made an improbable task virtually unmanageable, and Guardiola did not hide how much that moment coloured everything that followed, according to Reuters. 

Real Madrid’s Vinicius Jr scored twice as the Spanish side eased into the Champions League quarter‑finals on March 17, beating 10-man Manchester City 2-1 at the Etihad Stadium to complete a 5-1 aggregate victory, Reuters reported. 

Vinicius put the visitors ahead from the penalty spot in the 22nd minute after the VAR judged Bernardo Silva to have handled his shot on the line, a decision that also reduced City to 10 men and made an already daunting task seemingly impossible.

Pep Guardiola’s men were not waving the white flag however and Erling Haaland levelled in the 41st minute when he tapped in a pass from Jeremy Doku from close range, according to Reuters.
