Real Madrid star Antonio Rudiger has claimed Manchester City were not dangerous during the 1-1 draw between Manchester City and Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Real were edging towards a 1-0 victory courtesy of a Vinicius wonder strike in the first half, but Kevin De Bruyne produced another quality strike to level the scores in the second period.

Many had predicted that Manchester City will beat Real Madrid.

However, speaking after the game, Real Madrid defender Antonio Rudiger is sure of a win at the Etihad Stadium.

“They got the goal quite late so we feel like we could have had more but it’s not a problem, the tie is definitely on and we can go to Manchester with confidence,” said Rudiger.

“At the end of the day they were not dangerous. They had a lot of possession, we knew this would happen, but they were not dangerous. The goal is quality from De Bruyne.”

Asked if he is confident Real Madrid can knock Manchester City out of the Champions League ahead of the second leg, Rudiger replied: “We are Real Madrid, we are always confident.”
