Gvardiol: Happy for my first goal for Man City

Manchester City defender Josko Gvardiola was delighted scoring in their 3-3 draw at Real Madrid.

Gvardiol was outstanding in this Champions League quarterfinal first-leg.

He said: "What a game. First time for me to play here at this stadium, amazing atmosphere and we take the result and look forward to the game at home.

"Last season I faced them [Real Madrid] with RB Leipzig and this is a different team. I enjoyed playing, we knew it would be difficult but that's our quality to play with the ball and without it too."

"This is football. It happens. We need to be focussed after and try to come back in the game which we did. Good result in the end.

"Simple, control the ball. What we do the best and that's all. Try to keep the ball and be dangerous.

"Happy for my first goal for Man City. Especially against a great opponent. Happy. First touch was not that good but in the end I thought well I'm just going to hit it and see what happens.

"First we have Luton on Saturday so we need to focus on that first."
