UCL: City Are Ready For Real's Challenge- Kelechi Iheanacho

Manchester City's man of the match in last weekend's 4-0 victory over Stoke City in an English Premier League game, Kelechi

Iheanacho, has said that his side are battle  ready for their UEFA champions league clash against Real Madrid on Tuesday.

The two sides will be kicking off the last four stage of the tournament at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium, with the Zinedine Zidane's men welcoming the Ethiad stadium's outfit in the first leg of the two legged encounter.

The Nigerian youngster scored twice and assisted one of the four goals City recorded on Saturday afternoon, and the former FIFA U17 world cup most valuable player in 2013 insists they aren't scared of the Galacticos.

"This game [against Stoke] was great preparation for us before we play Real Madrid. On Tuesday, we need to focus and work hard because they're a good side. We are prepared to face them,” Iheanacho told club website.

"The Champions League is a big tournament so we need to focus and get the mood ready and get everything right to play. We must work hard and concentrate on every ball.

"We really need to win here because at their home it's not going to be an easy game. It's a great achievement for the club to be in the last four of the tournament but it would be a dream to get to the final so we're really hoping for that.”

"I'm very pleased to play with Sergio. It's a big thing so I'm really happy and looking forward to playing with him in the future,” he continued.

"I really need to work hard every game and every training. Every time I'm in I really need to show character and show that I deserve to be in the team so I really work hard until the end."
