prepare to host the Premier League outfit in the Champions League on Tuesday.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>The 23-year-old has branded\u00a0City\u00a0as the world\u2019s best team and reflected on past fixtures between the two giants. The sides will face each other for a third successive season on Tuesday, after City won last year\u2019s semi-final and Rodryo scored twice in stoppage time to secure his team a victory the year before.<\/li>\n<li>But the Brazilian has revealed that\u00a0Madrid\u00a0didn\u2019t want to face off against Man City again, but also insisted that City would\u2019ve also preferred to avoid being drawn against Madrid too.<\/li>\n<li>Speaking on the upcoming tie, he said: \u201cIt brings back good memories but also bad ones. This was an opponent that, to be honest, we didn\u2019t want to face. And they think the same as well: they didn\u2019t want to play against us.<\/li>\n<li>City defeated Madrid in the Champions League last year \/ Anadolu\/GettyImages<\/li>\n<li>\u201cIt\u2019s a game that everyone expects to be the final, but it\u2019s going to be now. City are very good, but our team is also very strong. It\u2019s going to be good to meet them again. They\u2019re the world champions, today they\u2019re the best team in the world, so we have total respect for them.<\/li>\n<li>\u201cThey have a very good control of the game and of the ball. It\u2019s a very beautiful game, a very difficult team. It\u2019s very annoying to play against them but I believe in our team.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Madrid currently sit eight points clear at the top of La Liga, whereas City are in the midst of a Premier League fight, just one point behind Arsenal and Liverpool.<\/li>\n<li>Overall in the\u00a0Champions League, City have won four fixtures against Madrid, and the Spanish side have taken three victories. Whoever progresses past this stage will face either Arsenal or Bayern Munich in the semi-finals, which will take place in May.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> <\/p>\n<div id=\"jeg_off_canvas\" class=\"normal\">\n<div class=\"jeg_mobile_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"nav_wrap\">\n<div class=\"item_main\">\n <\/p>\n<div class=\"jeg_aside_item jeg_search_wrapper jeg_search_no_expand square\">\n <i class=\"fa fa-search\"\/><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"jeg_search_result jeg_search_hide with_result\">\n<p>\n No Result <\/p>\n<p>\n <i class=\"fa fa-search\"\/> View All Result <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<link rel=\"stylesheet\" id=\"jnews-scheme-css\" href=\"https:\/\/myinfo.com.gh\/wp-content\/themes\/jnews\/data\/import\/reportase\/scheme.css?ver=11.2.1\" type=\"text\/css\" media=\"all\"\/>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/body>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rodrygo admits Real Madrid \u2018didn\u2019t want to face\u2019 Man City in Champions League \u2013 Real Madrid forward Rodrygo has admitted that his side \u2018did not want to face\u2019 Manchester City, as they prepare to host the Premier League outfit in the Champions League on Tuesday.

prepare to host the Premier League outfit in the Champions League on Tuesday.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>The 23-year-old has branded\u00a0City\u00a0as the world\u2019s best team and reflected on past fixtures between the two giants. The sides will face each other for a third successive season on Tuesday, after City won last year\u2019s semi-final and Rodryo scored twice in stoppage time to secure his team a victory the year before.<\/li>\n<li>But the Brazilian has revealed that\u00a0Madrid\u00a0didn\u2019t want to face off against Man City again, but also insisted that City would\u2019ve also preferred to avoid being drawn against Madrid too.<\/li>\n<li>Speaking on the upcoming tie, he said: \u201cIt brings back good memories but also bad ones. This was an opponent that, to be honest, we didn\u2019t want to face. And they think the same as well: they didn\u2019t want to play against us.<\/li>\n<li>City defeated Madrid in the Champions League last year \/ Anadolu\/GettyImages<\/li>\n<li>\u201cIt\u2019s a game that everyone expects to be the final, but it\u2019s going to be now. City are very good, but our team is also very strong. It\u2019s going to be good to meet them again. They\u2019re the world champions, today they\u2019re the best team in the world, so we have total respect for them.<\/li>\n<li>\u201cThey have a very good control of the game and of the ball. It\u2019s a very beautiful game, a very difficult team. It\u2019s very annoying to play against them but I believe in our team.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Madrid currently sit eight points clear at the top of La Liga, whereas City are in the midst of a Premier League fight, just one point behind Arsenal and Liverpool.<\/li>\n<li>Overall in the\u00a0Champions League, City have won four fixtures against Madrid, and the Spanish side have taken three victories. Whoever progresses past this stage will face either Arsenal or Bayern Munich in the semi-finals, which will take place in May.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> <\/p>\n<div id=\"jeg_off_canvas\" class=\"normal\">\n<div class=\"jeg_mobile_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"nav_wrap\">\n<div class=\"item_main\">\n <\/p>\n<div class=\"jeg_aside_item jeg_search_wrapper jeg_search_no_expand square\">\n <i class=\"fa fa-search\"\/><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"jeg_search_result jeg_search_hide with_result\">\n<p>\n No Result <\/p>\n<p>\n <i class=\"fa fa-search\"\/> View All Result <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<link rel=\"stylesheet\" id=\"jnews-scheme-css\" href=\"https:\/\/myinfo.com.gh\/wp-content\/themes\/jnews\/data\/import\/reportase\/scheme.css?ver=11.2.1\" type=\"text\/css\" media=\"all\"\/>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/body>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rodrygo admits Real Madrid \u2018didn\u2019t want to face\u2019 Man City in Champions League \u2013 Real Madrid forward Rodrygo has admitted that his side \u2018did not want to face\u2019 Manchester City, as they prepare to host the Premier League outfit in the Champions League on Tuesday.
