Real came back to win 3-2 late on against City at the Etihad last week.
Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti brushed aside Pep Guardiola’s claim that Manchester City have a “one percent” chance of beating the Spanish side on Wednesday, saying that the defending European champions only hold a small advantage.
“He doesn’t think they have a one percent chance of advancing and neither do we think we are 99 percent favourites. We have a small advantage due to what we did at Manchester and we have to use it in our favour. After Real Madrid lodged a letter of complaint against LaLiga’s referees after what they considered to be a number of unfair decisions, Ancelotti said the Champions League had fewer controversial calls, though he still had issues with VAR.
