VIDEO: Gvardiol on his stunning goal against Real Madrid

Manchester City managed to leave the Santiago Bernabeu with the tie wide open after holding Real Madrid to a draw despite key absentees in defence, which was without Kyle Walker and Nathan Ake through injury. 

Josko Gvardiol was among those selected in the Cityzens' starting XI to try to stop the 'Merengues' attack, who were a headache for the Sky Blues' defence in the end. However, the Croatian centre-back made headlines not exactly for his defending. 

The former Leipzig defender managed to restore the Mancunian side's lead with a thunderbolt from outside the box, although he revealed that he scored the goal because he had no choice after a poor first touch. Take a look at what he had to say.
