Rio Ferdinand says Manchester City sensation Phil Foden can send shockwaves around Europe by making a telling impact at the Santiago Bernabeu tonight. Foden was trusted to spark the City charge against Real Madrid as he was partnered by Riyad Mahrez and Gabriel Jesus in attacking quarters.
As they continue their double assault for another Premier League title and, so far, elusive European honours, City went into their second leg showdown against Champions League powerhouses Real with a slender advantage on the back of a pulsating last-four opener at the Etihad Stadium.
Foden was on target in that game as further goals from Kevin de Bruyne, Jesus and Bernardo Silva ensured that it ended 4-3 despite some eye-catching brilliance from Karim Benzema at the other end. As far as Manchester United great Ferdinand is concerned, though, there is no reason why that can't be Foden tonight.
