Real Madrid defender, Dani Carvajal, has revealed the advantage his team have over their UEFA Champions League quarter-final opponent, Manchester City.
The Spanish La Liga league leaders will host Pep Guardiola’s side in the first leg of Champions League last-8 tie at the Santiago Bernabeu on April 9.
However, Carvajal believes the Los Blancos don’t go into this match as favourites, which could end up benefitting them.
Manchester City are the current Champions League holders and given their dominance of late, Carvajal said in a recent interview (via Madrid Universal):
“They [Man City] are a very high level rival and no one is going to put the favourites tag on us; that is a point in our favour.”
The last time when both teams met in the Champions League semi-final stage last season, it was Man City who defeated Madrid 5-1 on aggregate.
