Former Liverpool player Stan Collymore has backed Real Madrid to beat Manchester City when both teams clash in the Champions League semi-final second-leg tie at the Etihad Stadium next Wednesday.
Man City drew 1-1 with Real Madrid in the first-leg tie at the Santiago Bernabeu last Tuesday.
Speaking to Caught Offside, Collymore predicted that Real Madrid would beat Man City 2-1.
He said: “Manchester City will be clear favourites, especially as they will be playing at home, but with that comes a whole heap of pressure, and this situation in Europe is not something the club are overly familiar with, so it is going to be interesting to see how it plays out.
“It is tough to call a winner, but given Madrid’s rich history in this competition and how they believe the Champions League is their trophy, I am going to say the Spaniards will nick it 2-1 on the night.”
