City are bidding to make history as they take on Real Madrid tonight for a place in the Champions League final.

Manuel Pellegrini's men face a daunting task as they tackle the 10-times winners, who are boosted by the return of Cristiano Ronaldo, at the Bernabeu in the second leg of their semi-final.

But City have shown signs of increased maturity during their best-ever run in the competition and and last week's goalless draw in their first leg offers hope.

Midfielder Fernandinho said: "I think we've learned from our mistakes in the past. We've had some disappointments, we've had some happiness, so you learn from those and take something from everything.

"In the last 16 and the quarter-finals we also beat two good teams to reach this semi-final stage, and now we are very close to achieving a historic moment for all the players, and for the club as well.

"So we will go in with all our strength, with a lot of concentration and everything we have to win this title - because I'm sure this is a title that would leave its mark in the life of every player and every Manchester City fan."
