Manchester City defender Kyle Walker insists the scoreline didn't tell the full story of their 4-0 Champions League semifinal rout of Real Madrid.

Bernardo Silva struck twice, with Manuel Akanji and Julian Alvarez also scoring as City reached the final 5-1 on aggregate.

Walker later said: "It's tough, it was always going to be tough. Sometimes the emotions take hold of you. I thought the lads dug in well and we controlled the first half. In the second half at the start it was a bit sloppy and we gave the ball away which shouldn't have happened. We got over the line and that's the main thing.

On his match up with Vinicius Junior, he also stated: "You've got to have a bit of arrogance like the attackers do, I believe in my pace and I go toe to toe with them. I believe I am bigger than him and can use my physical dominance. He's fantastic but you have to use your strengths. I just made it as difficult as possibly could for him.

"I think in this team, what I have loved since I have come here everyone has their roles and responsibilities. Obviously we've got Jack [Grealish], we've got Kevin [de Bruyne], we've got Erling [Haaland] but there is no stand out superstar and I think that is what gets us over the line more often than not where we don't just rely on one player. Obviously Real Madrid have got fantastic players all over the pitch but Vinicius has been their best player. As soon as you nullify that main threat, have they got a plan B?"
