Ex-Barcelona midfielder Crosas: Real Madrid beat Man City by playing like Luton

Former Barcelona midfielder Marc Crosas has hit out at Real Madrid over the way they defeated Manchester City last night.

Real effectively 'parked the bus' and managed to beat City on penalties in their Champions League quarterfinal second-leg.

Crosas took to social media to snap: Madrid will win the 15th after making a match in Manchester that not even Luton would have accepted.

"And that is also part of their greatness. Away from purist speeches and identities, it's difficult to explain, the DNA is clear: win anyway.

"What we are seeing today is like a Manchester City against any team that fights relegation in the Premier, the difference is the mystique of Madrid in the Champions.

"Lucas Vázquez, Nacho and Rudiger taking the last 3 decisive penalties after spending 120 minutes defending in their area. Madrid is this, without complexes. Win and nothing else."
