Real Madrid captain Nacho: We were brilliant at back for Man City win

Real Madrid captain Nacho says it's a dream come true reaching the Champions League semifinals.

Real are into the final four after Wednesday's shootout win at Manchester City.

Nacho said: “We had to dig deep because this team puts a lot of pressure on you, but we're Madrid and we fought until the end. What's important is that we're in the semi-finals.

“Normally we're the ones who dominate our opponents. It's very difficult to play on this pitch and against a team that plays so well. We showed the other side, defending spectacularly and doing an incredible job in the lower-middle block. We're delighted to have achieved our objective.

“It looked like we started the shootout poorly but we were able to turn it around. We always fight to the end, this team has an immense sense of pride. These players who have won everything never stop fighting.

“We were brilliant at the back, especially on an individual level. These are the magical nights you dream of as a kid and I've still got goosebumps now."
