More from Ancelotti
They are a really good team and they played a really good game in my opinion.
I think it was a penalty [Foden fouled]. The referee is one of the best in Europe.
It was a big goal [from Bellingham]. He played a fantastic game and was always dangerous. It was a top game for him.
Carlo Ancelotti
'We have to stay calm'
Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti also spoke to Amazon prime after the game.
We didn't deserve to be 1-2 down. We were really dangerous and defended really well.
At the end of the day the victory is deserved.
We have to stay calm. It's only the first half. Anything can happen at the Bernabeu.
[I liked] The character, the personality. We had a good block defensively.
It wasn't easy. Tonight we were able to do this.
Carlo Ancelotti
More from Pep
Today was tight and in certain times we had chances.
Many games at the end we give away. In that level it is so difficult. It is not the first time, it happens many times.
There are mistakes in similar areas. It is difficult to manage but yeah, it happens many times.
Players take decisions in the moment, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. We arrived in the last minute with the result but we could not keep it.
It belongs to all of us, not just the players. I have not a problem to accept that it doesn't work like it worked in the past. It is all of us.
They want it, how they run and how they do it but the truth is that we are not stable enough in the moments. At the end, today is what it is and after tomorrow we have to continue to learn.
There are many, many good things that we played. The result is what it is. Of course we did many good things, things can improve and always give credit for the opponent and the quality they have.
Pep Guardiola, Man City
Leave everything out on the pitch
Anything but victory at Santiago Bernabeu would see Man City crash out of Europe and seriously dent any hopes of silverware.
When you look at the squad, you cannot deny there is enough quality to give anyone a game.
However, Guardiola will need every one of his starting XI to give the performance of their seasons to see them progress to the round of 16.
With the tie so finely poised, it is another mouth-watering clash to look forward to.
Pep reeling after throwing game away
Speaking with Amazon Prime post-match, Guardiola was very matter of fact in his overview of his side's performance:
Many times happen this season. I know the quality of Real Madrid and what they have. Sometimes it is not about the other team but we gave away what we had. Of course now it is tough, we have to recover and look to Newcastle. We have to go to the Bernabeu and score goals, that is for sure.
Pep Guardiola
Massive challenge for Citizens ahead
Not many people will be putting their savings on Man City getting the victory they need in Madrid in the second leg.
That said, you also wouldn't bet against it.
If they can find a performance more akin to the City of old, anything is possible for Guardiola's side still.
They will need to go there with attacking intent, which could make for another European classic.
Bell of the ball in Manchester
You could have been forgiven for wondering if Jude Bellingham was even playing in the first-half until he almost got booked.
Exceptional players have the ability of just popping up at the right time to deliver the goods.
The England midfielder did just that, scoring the winner for Carlo Ancelotti's side late on in the game.
Demons cloud minds of City players
Having experienced so many incidents which would be unthinkable in previous seasons, it seems to be getting to the players.
There is a vulnerability to this Man City team and even from a position of strength, the game can still change in an instant.
Despite bringing players in during the transfer window, it looks like the spine of this trophy laden squad needs replacing.
Even with Rodri back, something has changed at The Etihad.
Rebuilding Man City may be Pep Guardiola's biggest challenge of his managerial career.
Heads drop after late defeat
Speaking with Amazon Prime after tonight's match, Stones faced up to the media:
Yeh, especially so close after the Arsenal one. I do not know how to even put it. Angry and frustrated is what I can say. I haven’t got the answer but we need to see games out better that is for sure. The manager said we have to take accountability for what happens on the pitch. It’s not done, we have to stay positive, which is difficult right now. We know the quality Madrid have and what has happened is avoidable by us. We have to do better.
John Stones
City have lost the 'fear factor'
Form is temporary, class is permanent.
Man City are currently proving that to not be the case.
Teams used to fear going up against Pep Guardiola's side, wherever it may be.
Now, that does not seem to be the case and the players no longer seem to believe it either.
Los Blancos stun Eithad crowd
It just shows the potential of this Real Madrid side in the attacking third, you are never safe against them.
Man City found that out the hard way as they went from leading the encounter heading into the closing stages, only to end up with defeat.
Pep Guardiola has it all to do now to try and keep his side's season on track and with a potential of some silverware.
English star haunts Man City
After scoring the added-time winner, Bellingham spoke with Amazon Prime after the match:
It was a weird one. I don't care what form City are in, they are always tricky to play. There are ups and down in these sorts of games. I just kept running to see if the ball came out wide and put it in. Like I say, I thought we were playing well and the chances would come. We are in a good position now to go to the Bernabeu.
Jude Bellingham
View from SunSport's Martin Blackburn at The Etihad
A STUNNED silence greeted the final whistle at the Etihad as City somehow threw another game away.
Erling Haaland’s two goals looked to have given them a crucial advantage to take to Spain but two poor goals in the last few minutes turned the game on its head.
Jude Bellingham will never score an easier goal than the one he tapped in with the last kick.
City have a mountain to climb in eight days time to avoid an early European exit.
