Manchester City will be up against both Real Madrid and their reputation on Wednesday as the Champions League's biggest winners play one of its biggest underachievers at the Santiago Bernabeu.
After City's win over Leicester on Saturday, Pep Guardiola said: "We will try to be ourselves. We can win and we can lose but we must try to be ourselves."
"That gives them a boost because they live that history."
"We came up against a number of obstacles but we believe in the goals we want to achieve and we achieve them because we fight."
"So, in a marvellous stadium we have to show our personalty."
