Manchester City midfielder Jack Grealish says he enjoyed their Champions League semifinal at Real Madrid.

The first-leg finished 1-1 as Kevin de Bruyne's City equaliser canceled out Vini Jr's opener.

Grealish said, "I loved it. These are the nights you play football for and dream of. At a stadium and in a game like this, it's like a dream come true.

"We've learned so much since last year. We have the perfect balance of experience and world-class youngsters. I've never felt so confident going onto the pitch, with the players around me.

"They let us have a the first pass a few times and then had a high press.

"We've all seen games where they've conceded a few goals, but tonight they defended really well. When [the ball] fell to Kevin, it was unbelievable. You wouldn't choose anyone else for it to fall to."
