Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola admits he spent the winter break plotting last night's stunning win at Real Madrid.

City won in Madrid 2-1 last night for the first-leg of their Champions League round 16 tie.

Guardiola stressed: “I have to know my opponents.

“We had ten free days and in those days I watched so many Real Madrid matches. I'm so proud of my players but it's just the first part.

“If one club can overcome this situation, it's them — but it's a good result."
