Pep Guardiola has confirmed all of Kevin De Bruyne, Erling Haaland and Manuel Akanji asked to come off during Manchester City’s Champions League defeat to Real Madrid.
Antonio Rudiger struck the winning spot-kick to eliminate the holders and end hopes of an unprecedented double-treble as Los Blancos enacted some revenge on City following last season’s chastening semi-final defeat.
Rodrygo had nosed Madrid ahead in the tie after a pulsating 3-3 draw in the Spanish capital last week before De Bruyne levelled in the second-half.
