Mijatovic said: "It was a perfect match with plenty of chances, but in football the best team doesn't always win. This time, though, it did. But there's still the game to play here.
"This tie isn't over yet. Anything can happen. I'm not pessimistic, but it's impossible for City to be so bad in two games. Strange things often happen in football. Today, in the 80th minute, City was winning 2-1.
"Madrid is a better team at the moment and the tie will go to Madrid."
