The Champions League will not define Manchester City’s place in the pantheon of English football’s best teams, Steve McManaman says.
And Real Madrid ’s unrivalled success in the European Cup should not be a major factor in their semi-final clash despite repeated failures from the Premier League leaders weighing heavily on their shoulders.
McManaman, who won the trophy twice as a Real player in 2000 and 2002, considers this last four collision as the real final with the winner going into a shootout against Milan or Inter as massive favourites.
