Although Ukrainian goalkeeper Andrey Lunyin saved eight shots, plus two penalties in the series, Uruguay's Federico Valverde was named the player of the fantastic game at the Etihad.

Madrid beat Manchester City in the second leg of the quarter-finals of the Champions League (1:1, 4:3 on penalties - first leg - 3:3).

"Manchester City obviously plays better football than us, but we are Real Madrid. They thought we were dead, but we won! The award for the best player goes to everyone. I will put it in the locker room at the Bernabéu and congratulate all my teammates, because they did their best," said Real Madrid midfielder Fede Valverde.

And Bayern icon Oliver Kahn believes that his club will be the favorite against Real Madrid in the poufian, after the Bavarians surprisingly, due to their form and games in the season, beat Arsenal.

"There is only one better quality team than Bayern in the world at the moment. It is Manchester City," emphasized the trophy-winning former goalkeeper.
