Rio Ferdinand has warned Manchester City of the effect a negative result against Atletico Madrid would have heading into their crucial Premier League encounter with Liverpool.
City begin a pivotal couple of weeks as they host Atletico in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final at the Etihad this evening. While they remain in the hunt for an historic treble, they’re hopes could well hinge on their next four games.
As well as the clash against the Spanish champions, the Blues face Liverpool in what many are billing as a title decider on Sunday. Following next week’s second leg in Madrid, they face the Reds again in semi-finals of the FA Cup.
