Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola was pleased that his side managed to control themselves emotionally against a "special" Real Madrid side, as the two teams played out a 3-3 Champions League quarter-final, first-leg draw on April 9.
Phil Foden won the battle with Jude Bellingham, two of England's brightest stars, to give holders City the upper hand after a thrilling encounter at the Santiago Bernabeu.
"What I liked most is how we played in the second half," said Guardiola, after seeing his team go 2-1 down at half-time.
"They were so dangerous in transitions and could have scored more goals, but we controlled the game really well. One of the key points in these games is being stable emotionally. It's fundamental. Be stable in the bad moments.
