Guardiola's tactical approach surprised Shearer. The attacking style the coach desired didn't pan out, as Madrid were able to hit City on the counter-attack. the ex-Newcastle striker told Betfair: "I was very surprised to see that many changes for City and I was slightly surprised to see such an attacking line-up. I guess Pep felt he could go there and beat them because they haven't been great. I've seen Real Madrid a couple of times. But given their history in this competition, this is probably when they come alive."
