Kevin De Bruyne's brilliant drive earned Manchester City a 1-1 draw at Real Madrid in a gripping Champions League semi-final first leg battle on Tuesday. Both teams will try to book a ticket to the final on Wednesday.
Kyle Walker tried to keep Vinicius Jr at bay in the first leg and will have to prevent the Brazilian from scoring in the second leg. The right-back spoke about the Madrid striker at the pre-match press conference.
"I went to hug him because he tried to rainbow flick me! I was like 'please don't try that again and make me a meme'. Boxers have a battle and shake hands after. You give the level of respect because they deserve it.
"Carrying a massive club like Real Madrid over the line in the Champions League, you show your respect. Tomorrow night, I'll give him the respect he deserves but before that is dog eat dog. I take it as any other game, you have to show him respect," Walker said.
