Real Madrid were unable to play their usual game due to Manchester City's suffocating high press in the first half of Wednesday's 4-0 Champions League semi-final loss, goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois said.
City completed 124 passes in the first 15 minutes with nearly 80 per cent of possession while reigning champions Real were restricted to just 13 passes, UEFA stats showed. "Initially we managed it well but we weren't able to play our game, create chances or cause them danger. That allowed them to be even more comfortable.
Two goals from Bernardo Silva put City in command of the tie but Courtois said things could have been different had Toni Kroos's rocket from distance found the net instead of hitting the crossbar.
