Catalan sports press elated at Madrid UCL defeat to City

A 78th minute header from Gabriel Jesus and a 83rd minute spot kick, calmly dispatched by Kevin De Bruyne after Carvajal had upended Sterling were enough to secure a 1-2 win for Pep Guardiola and his Manchester City at the Santiago Bernabéu in the first leg of the Round of 16 Champions League clash on Wednesday.
