Real Madrid are feeling confident ahead of their Champions League semi-final second leg against Manchester City. Los Blancos conceded an equaliser to Kevin de Bruyne in the second half, but they were not overly worried by the side in front of them.
‘They’re not better than us’ was the message coming out of the Real Madrid dressing room after the match, according to Marca. The players did not feel they were outdone in terms of play, tactics, intensity or fitness, and are now feeling optimistic, despite neeting to go to the Etihad and win.
Real Madrid intend to go for similar strategy on Wednesday, starting off with composure. They clearly feel they have the upper hand physically, as they feel they can wait until the second half for that to make the difference too.
An added factor could be their weekend commitments. Manchester City face a tough tie away to relegation-threatened Everton at Goodison Park, and will need to put in an intense performance in order to maintain their league at the top of the Premier League table.
Meanwhile Getafe are also in need of points to stay up, but they head to the Santiago Bernabeu on Saturday night, and there is little on the line for Los Blancos. While they are still pursuing second spot, Ancelotti will be able to rotate heavily for Los Azulones.

City is a small team, City is the underdog, City cannot beat us, We don't fear City, City fear us, we will trash City, City is this, City is that.....that is the noises all over the World from the fans of Champions League specialist. As a City fans we will not make noise..Etihad remain where it is and we are expecting them to come and do what they know best and City to also show them the stuff they have made off. Arsenal and Liverpool knows better what is in Etihad this season when City play a big team there.

If Real Madrid couldn't get a win at the Santiago Bernabeu in front of thousands of their vociferous supporters, I wonder how they could defeat Mancity at the Etihad. Mancity has got the pedigree and the records favour us. Real Madrid has never won before while playing away to Mancity and it won't start with Wednesday's fixture. The odds are in favour of Manchester City. The Champions League trophy is coming to the Etihad.

Barcelona feel too confident of themselves that’s why they lost to Madrid, Liverpool and Chelsea are in their worst season ever and you can’t expect them to beat Real. Watch and see what will happen in the second leg in Manchester, because this is a game of football and it can go either ways but comes to record and current form City as the upper hand at home and they beat Madrid here last season when Madrid is in their best form and City has never lost at home to Madrid in all their meetings and has never lost at home in their last 17 matches and you can’t expect Real to go to City and get a win
