Last season’s treble winners suffered a 4-3 penalty shootout loss to Real Madrid in their Champions League quarter-final at Etihad Stadium on Wednesday. Pep Guardiola’s side are two points ahead of Arsenal and Liverpool in the league with six games remaining and play Chelsea in the FA Cup semi-finals on Saturday. “It hurts and we’ve got to feel the pain,” Walker told reporters.
