Man City Star Sends Warning to Real Madrid Ahead of Champions League Clash

• Bernardo Silva says Manchester City are not afraid of reigning Champions League holders Real Madrid
• The Citizens will renew their rivalry with Los Blancos when they meet in this season’s UCL semi-finals
• AC Milan or Inter Milan will face the winners of the Real Madrid and Manchester City game in the final

Manchester City will begin their revenge mission against Real Madrid when both teams meet again in the Champions League semi-final on Wednesday, May 9.

The Citizens were minutes away from reaching a consecutive Champions League final last season before they saw their hopes erased with late goals from Rodrygo to force extra time.

According to 90MIN, Bernardo Silva has now stated that Man City are confident they can defeat Real Madrid this term as they are not afraid of the Spanish giants.

"We have a lot of respect for them, yes, but not any fear at all. Why should we fear them? We'll try to keep the momentum we've built over two months to arrive very confident of beating them, knowing they won the Champions League last season for a reason.”
