Guardiola claimed the City of previous years could easily have crumbled under the weight of pressure in Madrid.
Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola hailed his side’s character after the Champions League holders played out a thrilling 3-3 draw at Real Madrid.
Phil Foden and Josko Gvardiol turned the game around again with stunning second-half efforts but Federico Valverde levelled to ensure next week’s return clash at the Etihad Stadium will begin evenly poised.Guardiola said: “I think it was really good. Two teams that want to attack. The quality of the goals was fantastic.
“This game, in the first three seasons together, we’d have lost 4-1 or 5-1 as we were not stable emotionally. In De Bruyne’s absence, it was Foden who played the key role as City recovered from their half-time deficit.
