Federico Valverde has warned Manchester City that Real Madrid’s Champions League pedigree could give them an edge as they seek to end the holders’ five-and-a-half-year undefeated home record in the competition by knocking them next week.
City drew 3-3 with Real in Tuesday’s first leg at the Santiago Bernabéu. Pep Guardiola’s side are favourites to go through in next Wednesday’s return, in part because of home advantage – City’s last Champions League defeat at the Etihad Stadium came against Lyon in September 2018.
