Rio Ferdinand believes Manchester City are the favourites heading into this evening's huge Champions League semi-final second leg against Real Madrid.

City host the 14-time European Cup winners at the Etihad Stadium with a place in the Istanbul final next month up for grabs.

The victors of this evening's clash will take on Inter Milan after the Nerazzurri beat cross-city rivals AC Milan in the other semi-final.

The encounter is on a knife edge and all square after the first leg at the Santiago Bernabeu earlier this month. Vinicius Jr put Real ahead in the first half of that encounter, but Kevin De Bruyne equalised for Pep Guardiola's men.
