Carlo Ancelotti and Pep Guardiola react to Real Madrid's 3-2 win against Manchester City

Jude Bellingham scored the winner as Real Madrid came from behind to beat Manchester City in a breathless Champions League playoff first leg at the Etihad Stadium. In a thrilling end to the game, Real scored twice in the final six minutes to win it 3-2 and ensure they hold that advantage going into the second leg. City took the lead in the 19th minute. Erling Haaland made it 1-0 with his first ever goal against Real Madrid. Kylian Mbappe equalised in somewhat fortunate circumstances, his mishit volley deceiving Ederson and floating in. But City were given the opportunity to make it 2-1. Haaland scored from the spot when Phil Foden was brought down, but Real turned the game in the closing stages. Brahim Diaz, once a City player in his youth, made it 2-2 in the 86th minute before Bellingham won it for the 15-time European champions. I don't have a problem to accept that it doesn't work like it worked in the past. Not a problem, but it's all of us. For me it would be easy to say no and blame one specific player or blame whatever. That is ridiculous, so it doesn't work. It's all of us. Me first, because that's why I'm here for many years and of course the players as well. So this is the truth and they want it, yes, of course, how they run, how they do it, but the truth is that we are not stable. Stable enough in that moment to do the things that happen, not today. Today is an exception, it happens many times. It happens many times because we are not, but at the end today is where it is, tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and we have to continue to learn and fresh minds, fresh legs and go for them. Of course there are many, many good things. We know which team we are playing. There are many good things that we played, but the result is what it is. We are here for the business, for the results, but of course we did many good things. Things can improve and always I give credit for the opponent when they are the quality that they have. Always I have to give credit for what they do, but of course we are doing many good things. But there's the question, when you arrive at the end with the result, it's tough. It happens many times for the players, it's difficult. I think a lot of them, I think a lot how they suffer because they do everything, but we are not able to close that. To be solid in the decision making in certain moments, do it better. I always say to the Spanish journalists that defend is not an individual problem. Defend is a team problem, and so today we were able to be a team, to defend well. The four defenders that never played together were able to play a good game because the team worked really well defensively. The old man could play a game of 90-95 minutes. They don't seem to do it now. I don't know what it is, I don't know if they switch off, I don't know if it's an ageing team. The older you get, the more tired you get, the quicker you get tired, the more mistakes you make. They just seem to switch off. I thought they were doing really well, up to go 2-1 up, amazing. They had to ride their luck a couple of times. Of course you will when you're playing against a team like Real Madrid. But they'll be so disappointed. We're not even mid-February yet, and they're playing for the FA Cup. So you think they're out? I'll have Real Madrid, you can have Manchester United. What chance do you give them? None. None at all? No, no. I'll be shocked, I'll be majorly shocked. I see enough in Real Madrid to know that they can open them up like a knife through butter. And I just can't see how Man City can come away with this. Go up a 2-1 up, and then you never know. But yeah, this is like the equivalent for me of the Liverpool-Tottenham one in the Carabao Cup. And Tottenham had a goalless start, they've got to go their one behind.
