City missed two of their five penalties during the shootout. Bernardo and Mateo Kovacic missed their chances. City had a strong start with Julian Alvarez scoring the opening spot kick and Ederson denying Luka Modric. However, Bernardo faced a delay when he didn’t have a ball to take his penalty as it was held by the crowd.

Eventually, his penalty was saved by Andriy Lunin. Kovacic’s miss proved crucial as Real Madrid scored four perfect penalties after their opening miss. Former City defender Joleon Lescott suggested that the delay experienced by Bernardo made a difference in his penalty miss. Rio Ferdinand added that it was a shame that the home fans delayed the penalty kick.

Despite falling behind early to Rodrygo’s opener, City dominated the game and Kevin De Bruyne scored the equalizer. Pep Guardiola expressed no regrets about their performance, stating that his team did everything offensively and defensively.
