Real Madrid have nothing to fear when they travel to the Etihad Stadium for the second leg of their Champions League semi-final next week, according to Dani Carvajal.
After a thrilling stalemate in the teams’ first meeting at the Bernabeu on Tuesday, the tie is precariously poised at 1-1.
The defending champions took the lead with an incredible goal in the first half from Vinicius Jr, however, Kevin De Bruyne drew City even with an equally brilliant effort in the second half.
“They have world-class players, they move the ball very well, they’re tactically very well worked – but I don’t think we saw a City side that are superior to Madrid,” Carvajal said.
“The team goes home knowing that we played well and that if we get things right, if we take our chances in Manchester, we have a chance of going through.

“We go there with nothing to fear. We have to go there to win, to play our game, and the team believes in it.”
The draw was probably the least the Premier League leaders deserved but Real did have a gripe over the equaliser, with suggestions the ball may have gone out of play in the build-up.
