Manchester City are still in the hunt for a Champion’s League final after they held Real Madrid to a 0 – 0 draw.
This was mainly due to the fact that Joe Hart pulled off at least two brilliant saves during the game.
The fact that Cristiano Ronaldo had to sit out the game with his thigh in a sling also helped City a good bit.
Being more or less hors de combat he could only sit (regally) and watch from the sidelines at the efforts of his team to score a goal without him leading the charge.
Zidane’s second best superstar Bale didn’t quite live up to the opportunity he had of doing something spectacular to impress the seated Ronaldo.
This was the first time the he was playing in England again since his departure in 2013 to try a reign in Spain.
The awesomeness of the occasion,or the booing of the City faithful got to him perhaps and he was kind semi present or semi absent for most of the game.
City go into the second round with the advantage of not having conceded an away goal.
Highlights of the most expensively-assembled attacking teams neutralising each other and Hart’s heriocs follow…
