Tonight in the Champions League, Manchester City take on Real Madrid in the semi-final second leg at the Bernabeu. The score remains goalless from last week's first leg.

City are bidding to make history as they take on Real Madrid tonight for a place in the Champions League final.

Manuel Pellegrini's men face a daunting task as they tackle the 10-times winners, who are boosted by the return of Cristiano Ronaldo, at the Bernabeu in the second leg of their semi-final.

But City have shown signs of increased maturity during their best-ever run in the competition and and last week's goalless draw in their first leg offers hope.

Midfielder Fernandinho said: "I think we've learned from our mistakes in the past. We've had some disappointments, we've had some happiness, so you learn from those and take something from everything.

"In the last 16 and the quarter-finals we also beat two good teams to reach this semi-final stage, and now we are very close to achieving a historic moment for all the players, and for the club as well.

"So we will go in with all our strength, with a lot of concentration and everything we have to win this title - because I'm sure this is a title that would leave its mark in the life of every player and every Manchester City fan."

Stats reveal how worried Man City should be about Cristiano RonaldoThe IndependentCristiano Ronaldo is the superman of modern football, the perfect prototype if you were to build a superstar in a lab.  Not only does he have almost unrivalled technique, he is, at 6ft 1in, dominant in the air and at 12.5 stone of pure muscle a powerful and strong customer; quite simply, he has everything.

Cristiano Ronaldo: 'I don't doubt I will go down in football history'The IndependentReal Madrid superstar Cristiano Ronaldo says he is in "no doubt" that he will go down as one of the best players ever to play football. Ronaldo, 31, is set to return to the Real Madrid starting XI against Manchester City on Wednesday night having missed the last three matches through injury. He enters the game already as the highest scoring player in European Cup/Champions League history. With 93 goals he is 10 goals ahead of rival Lionel Messi, while his ratio of goals since joining Real Madrid (1.06 per game) is better than any other striker.

Pellegrini: We're ready to make history in MadridThe IndependentManuel Pellegrini has backed his Manchester City players to cope with the ‘high pressure’ of facing Real Madrid in the Santiago Bernabeu after admitting his team is on the brink of history in their Champions League semi-final.

Manchester City come into the match on a run of just one win in four matches - and were particularly poor in defeat at Southampton on Sunday

Real are unbeaten in seven in all competitions, winning six. And they have yet to concede in the Champions League at home this season. Quite the task for City..
