Manchester City won't change approach for second leg at Real Madrid says Fernandinho

The English champions currently enjoy a slender advantage over their Spanish counterparts following a dramatic 4-3 first leg at the Etihad stadium. 

However, considering Real Madrid came back from behind against Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain in the two previous rounds, another thriller is expected at Santiago Bernabeu.

"We will try to keep the ball as much as we can, try to create chances, try to hurt them as much as we can and obviously be a bit smarter, defend better and not concede any chances over there.

City enjoyed a two-goal lead on three occasions in what proved to be an exhilarating opening leg clash between the two clubs. A second-half brace from Karim Benzema keeps Madrid within one goal of the Citizens ahead of the rematch in Spain.

As well as focusing on their Champions League duties, Manchester City also face an intense title challenge from Liverpool in the final weeks of the Premier League season.
