Real Madrid sporting director Jorge Valdano has offered his congratulations to Barcelona after his team were knocked out by Pep Guardiola's men at the semi-final stage of the Champions League.
His comments come in the aftermath of a 1-1 draw at the Camp Nou, which followed last week's first-leg, won 2-0 by Barcelona in the Santiago Bernabeu for an overall 3-1 aggregate score in favour of the Spanish champions.
