Manchester City striker Khadija Shaw says her side were disappointed with their first-half performance in Thursday’s 1-1 Women’s Champions League draw with Real Madrid, leaving City winless after two group games. Shaw scored the equaliser in the 51st minute after Linda Caicedo had put the visitors ahead, but a late Real Madrid winner was ruled out by referee Silvia Gasperotti.
Manchester City Women came from behind to draw 1-1 with Real Madrid in the Women's Champions League at the City Football Academy, with Khadija 'Bunny' Shaw equalising after Linda Caicedo's opener. A late Real Madrid effort by Silvia Cristobal was disallowed after referee Silvia Gasperotti inadvertently blocked Beth Mead, sparking furious protests. The result gives City two points from two games and comes amid off-field turmoil following the Premier League verdict on the men's team's 115 charges.
