Rodri insists Manchester City know they are a better team than Real Madrid.
The Sky Blues are up 2-1 heading into their highly anticipated last-16 second-leg in Manchester on Friday.
Speaking before the clash, Rodri said: “They are more than a team. They have that way of playing where you can never relax even if you are winning three or 4-0 they always come back and have that huge personality to become the champions they have been.
“It is the biggest team in this competition and they show that to the world. But now football has changed a little bit – it is so competitive the distances between teams are so narrow.
“I know we have the better team but we have to show it on the pitch tomorrow. If we do things well.”
“Words are worthless if you can’t prove that on the field. We’ve got to match Real Madrid on what they may have that is better than us and that is experience in these games.”
