Manuel Sanchis: Real Madrid favourites against Man City

Former Real Madrid captain Manuel Sanchis is confident they can beat Manchester City in England.

Real go to City this week for the second-leg of their Champions League round 16 tie needing to overturn a 2-1 deficit.

But Sanchis says, “Real Madrid after confinement has made us believe in them. It has gone from being a team of individuals to playing as such. Real Madrid is more a candidate to pass the classification than in March. And I think the percentage in our favor is 60 to 40 against City."

On Pep Guardiola's chances with City, winning the Champions League with two teams, he said: "He is on his way [to be one of the greats] and wants to make history, but Real Madrid can beat him this time."
