City can follow Rossoneri’s footsteps

If Manchester City do manage to get the better of Real Madrid this evening, they will join another European great in making history.

A win for Pep Guardiola’s side would see City become just the second club to eliminate Real Madrid from the knockout stages of the European Cup/Champions League in consecutive seasons. following the great AC Milan side of the late eighties.

Arrigo Sacchi’s Rossoneri’s dumped out Los Blancos in the 1988-89 semi-finals, and then beat them again in the Round of 16 one year later.
