Rodri took a swipe at Real Madrid after Manchester City’s dream of a historic double-treble ended in penalty heartbreak.
Man City dominated possession in Wednesday night’s Champions League quarter-final second-leg thriller but Real held on until the end of extra-time and won 4-3 in the shootout on a dramatic night at the Etihad Stadium.
Midfielder Rodri was unhappy with Real's tactics and said: “Today I only seen one team.
“In terms of defending, they defend and they knew how to suffer. We know how tough Real Madrid are, but in my opinion we should have gone through in terms of the chances and everything.
“But they know this competition and how to play. Congratulations to them.
“It is worse to try to find an explanation. They scored their only chance. Football does not pay attention to merit, it is only about putting the ball in the net.
“We did not expect them to be so, so far deep in their set up. We had the feeling that penalties suited them better.
“If we are more precise, we win the game. Madrid has won a tie that, in my opinion, we deserved to go through.
“It is their turn again, as usual. Now we have to get the boys up, we still have things to fight for.”
