Zidane: 'City will put us under pressure'

Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane has claimed that his team should expect to be under pressure from "minute one to 90" when they take on Manchester City in their Champions League semi-final showdown tomorrow night at the Bernabeu.

The tie is evenly poised after the first leg at the Etihad Stadium finished in a goalless draw last week.

"It is going to be very complex, more than the first leg because we know everything will be decided tomorrow," Zidane told reporters in today's press conference. "We are going to prepare as we always do, respecting the opponent.

"They have very good players, especially attacking players. I cannot say we are going to score two or three goals - that doesn't exist in football. It is a totally different match but we are ready.

"We know we are going to be under pressure from minute one to 90 or more, and the important thing is we are ready for that."

The winner will face either Bayern Munich or Atletico Madrid in the final.
