Kit Symons believes Manchester City missed an opportunity to edge ahead in their Champions League semi-final against a Real Madrid side without Cristiano Ronaldo.The Portuguese was expected to play on Tuesday night after missing the weekends win over Rayo Vallecano with a thigh injury.However, he did not make the squad and City were unable to take advantage as a cagey first leg finished goalless at the Etihad. Karim Benzema was also a doubt for Real with injury and he was withdrawn at half-time after an ineffective first half. Symons watched Manchester City and Real Madrid draw 0-0 in the Champions League Asked on Sky Sports News HQ whether the hosts showed Real too much respect, former City defender Symons said: To an extent, yes. There was no Ronaldo and Benzema did not seem fit; they looked much better in the second half when they took him off.It was a great chance for City to get a goal to take away, but its still very much an open tie. Real will be on the front foot and very offensive in the return leg, and that will give City space to counter which will give them hope. Joe Hart saved from point-blank range to deny Pepe City have some fantastic players who can hurt teams on the break and thats what they will have to do.Manuel Pellegrinis side rarely threatened in their first Champions League semi-final, with Kevin De Bruyne going closest with a late free-kick that Keylor Navas tipped over the bar.However, Symons said it was crucial that they did not concede an away goal ahead of the second leg on May 4. Gareth Bale looks to shake off the attentions of Vincent Kompany They would have loved to have taken the lead but the key was not to concede, otherwise the tie could have been effectively over, he said.Real did have good opportunities and they will be the happier I am sure, but the tie is very much alive.But in Reals five home games in the Champions League, they have scored 18 and conceded none so that tells you the magnitude of the task for City.Also See:Man City 0-0 Real MadridAs it happenedMan City fixturesGet a ￡10 free bet!Cheap Adidas Nmd Chukka Uk .

Adidas Ultra Boost Outlet Uk . -- Jaye Marie Green shot a 4-under 68 on Thursday to increase her lead to five strokes after the second round of the LPGA Tours qualifying tournament.RIO DE JANEIRO -- Elia Viviani slammed hard into the wooden surface of the Olympic velodrome and thought, just for a fleeting moment, that perhaps his chances of winning a track cycling gold medal were over.Then he stood up. He realized he wasnt hurt. And he saw that he was still leading the omnium.So, Viviani hauled himself back onto his bike and proceeded to hold off stiff challenges from British cycling star Mark Cavendish and reigning gold medalist Lasse Norman Hansen of Denmark to win the multi-discipline event at the Rio de Janeiro Games on Monday.Its a bike race, Viviani said of the crash, caused when Cavendish collided with Korean rider Park Sang-hoon in the fourth corner. Were on a track, no brakes. When one guy changes directions in front of you and someone else is not ready to change directions, you crash.Talk about a pragmatic approach to a near-catastrophe.The omnium is contested over six events, but it came down to the points race, the final event where riders sprint for points every 10 laps and can earn bonus points for lapping the entire field.The tension was building when Cavendish, unaware of Park beside him, slashed down toward the bottom of the track. The Korean fell hard and lay motionless for several minutes while medical staff tended to him. He was eventually fitted with a neck brace and strapped to a backboard.Race officials said later Park did not sustain any serious injuries.It was my fault. I should have been looking where I was going a bit more, Cavendish said. I hope hes all right. And I apologized to Elia, he went down too.Meanwhile, Cavendish finally claimed the Olympic medal that has long eluded him.The winner of 30 stages of the Tour de France, Cavendish was the only British rider to miss out on a track cycling medal at the 2008 Beijing Games. He was also favored in the road race at the 2012 London Games but missed the podium.I did everything I could to prepare for this race. I did everything I could in the race, Cavendish said. Ultimately, I couldnt do anything more. So I have to be happy.Viviani was simply more consistent, wiinning the elimination race and finishing third in the individual pursuit and time trial Sunday.dddddddddddd He then took second in the flying lap to start the final day of competition, building a 16-point lead over second-place Cavendish entering the points race.At that point, all Viviani had to do was mark his rivals moves.Hansen will certainly rue his last-place finish in the elimination race. The Danish rider won the scratch race and individual pursuit to take a huge early lead, but the bronze medalists stunning misstep in the third event of the program proved too costly to overcome.I think I just went too deep in the (individual pursuit), he said. All cross-eyed before the start and I knew I wouldnt have a lot in the tank. But I didnt expect to get last.Britain can conclude another monster performance in the velodrome on Tuesday night, when Becky James and Katy Marchant try for individual sprint medals, Laura Trott aims to defend her omnium title and Jason Kenny tries to win his third gold medal of the Rio Games in the keirin.Their team is trying to match its feat of the past two Olympics, seven gold medals in each.Britain has already won mens and womens team pursuit, along with mens team sprint and Kennys individual sprint title. Three more golds would match Britains effort from Beijing and London.The potential for seven gold medals in 10 events is even more astounding when you consider the British squad didnt even qualify a team for the womens team sprint.Oh, and James and Callum Skinner each have won silver medals, too.The path to gold in the individual sprint became easier for James and Marchant when Olympic champion Anna Meares of Australia lost in her repechage Monday.There is no one who will criticize me more than me, said Meares, who wound up finishing 10th in the individual sprint. The perfectionist within me makes it hard to comprehend this result.For the first time in 22 years, I just couldnt get anything more out. ' ' '
