  • The English side succumbed to a heartwrenching Champions League against Real Madrid on Wednesday night
  • Dias and his Man City teammates will have to snap out of their Champions League disappointment and channel their efforts towards the Premier League, the only title they are most likely to win this season

Manchester City centre-half Rúben Dias has broken his silence following his side's capitulation in their Champions League semifinal tie against Real Madrid.

Dias and his Man City teammates were subjected to a heartbreaking Champions League exit on Wednesday night as Real Madrid staged arguably the best comebacks in recent history.

The former Benfica defender, who played full throttle in Wednesday's encounter, took to Twitter to portray a positive outlook despite the crashing nature of the results against Madrid.

How did Man City's cheers change to tears within minutes?

Leading 4-3 after the first leg, Man City needed to avoid defeat at the Santiago Bernabeu to secure a back-to-back Champions League final appearance.

Their dreams were further enhanced when Mahrez scored in the second half with Madrid on the verge of exit and no shots as at the 89th minute the resurrection happened.

Two quickfire goals from Rodrygo Goes levelled the score on aggregate, pushing the tie to extra time before talisman Benzema coolly slot home from the penalty spot to steal a march on Man City.

Man City would have to snap out of the disappointing results within the shortest possible time as they face Newcastle United in a tricky encounter on Sunday with Liverpool breathing down their necks for the Premier League title.

What was the reaction from Ruben Dias after the shock exit?

Guardiola was hoping to lead City to another final in the European football tournament only to be dumped out by Real Madrid in the semi-final.

The Citizens won 4-3 in the first leg of the tie played at the Etihad Stadium - but suffered a 3-1 defeat in the return leg at Santiago Bernabeu.
