Two quality strikes settled the first leg, Vinicius Junior opened the scoring for the home side in the 36th minute of the game, while Kevin de Bruyne equalised for the Citizens in an enthralling 1-1 draw in the Spanish capital, Madrid.
Speaking after the match, Rudiger said: “They got the goal quite late so we feel like we could have had more but it’s not a problem, the tie is definitely on and we can go to Manchester with confidence.
“At the end of the day, they were not dangerous. They had a lot of possession, we knew this would happen, but they were not dangerous. The goal is quality from De Bruyne.”
