MANCHESTER, UNITED KINGDOM - Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane said he remained"proud" of his team for their achievements this season despite the Spanish giants going out of the Champions League to Manchester City in the last 16 on Friday .

"We can't be happy about today because we have lost a game and gone out, but we have to be proud of what we have done over the season," Zidane said after the match. However, they have now been knocked out of the Champions League for the first time with Zidane as coach - the Frenchman led Real to glory in the competition in three straight years during his first spell in charge between 2016 and 2018 before returning to the job last year.

Karim Benzema equalised on the night to keep the tie in the balance, but a short headed backpass by Varane midway through the second half allowed Jesus to steal in and secure the victory for City.
