NIGERIAN youngster, Kelechi Iheanacho believes Manchester City is set for the UEFA Champions League semi-final clash with Real Madrid, saying his team must win tonight at the Etihad Stadium ahead of the reverse fixture.
Iheanacho said the Citizens' 4-0 pounding of Stoke City in the English Premier League last weekend has put them in the right frame of mind for tonight's showdown with the team that is parading the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Gareth Bale, Sergio Ramos and Karim Benzema, among others
"This game (against Stoke) was great preparation for us before we play Real Madrid.
"We need to focus and work hard (tonight) because they (Real Madrid) are a good side. We are prepared to face them.
"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,” Iheanacho who was adjudged the man of the match last weekend after scoring a brace told www.mcfc.co.uk.
The 2013 FIFA U-17 World Cup Most Valuable Player said he enjoyed playing alongside Sergio Aguero.
"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.
"I really need to work hard in every in game and every training. Every time, I really need to show character and show that I deserve to be in the team so I really need to work hard until the end,” said the Nigerian international.
Iheanacho has scored 11 goals for Man City in all competitions this season.
