UCL: Carragher Says Man City Will Defeat Real Madrid Because They Are A Better Team

Before the second leg of their Champions League semi-final match against Real Madrid, former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher claimed that Manchester City are "a better team."

The Santiago Bernabeu witnessed a 1-1 draw between the two teams last week.

Prior to the second leg at the Etihad, Carragher believes City are in their greatest shape.

"It just feels like every game is so easy for them now.

"I thought Everton would be their hardest game because they were fighting for their lives, it's a hostile atmosphere and it came in between the Real Madrid games. I thought Guardiola might change a few more players but he didn't.

"Obviously, Real Madrid is a tough game, but they are a better team than Carlo Ancelotti's side. It's a case of whether it happens on the night for them but after that, I don't see a problem at all."
