Pep Guardiola became the first manager to eliminate Zinedine Zidane from the Champions League tournament. The team led by the Spaniard, Manchester City, defeated Real Madrid for the second time on Friday and advanced to the quarter-finals of the tournament, but Guardiola himself insisted after the match that his team is not going to stop. "We are here to fight for the Champions League trophy. Today we took just one step, if we thought that was enough, we would show how small our ambitions are. If you want to win this tournament, you have to beat the strongest clubs. Of course, it's very important that we defeated Real twice, and Zidane has never lost a Champions League knockout series. It must be acknowledged that Real showed a very good game. We created many chances, scored two goals after the opponents' mistakes. We wanted Real to attack us, but it's not so easy to turn such a balanced team out of balance," Guardiola said.
