Real Madrid and Manchester City meet on Wednesday in one of the best matches in Europe. While it is true that neither of the two are at their best, both are condemned to face each other in search of a ticket to the last 16.
Someone who knows well how Real Madrid face this type of match is Casemiro. The Brazilian, now at Manchester United, has won five Champions League titles with the 'Merengues'
"The comeback was not a surprise for me. Madrid almost always do it and everyone knows the history of this team and what they are capable of doing. Madrid always fight until the end and never give up. Even losing 2-1, I knew there was a lot of game to play," Casemiro told 'AS'.
That's why Casemiro is expecting a great Bernabeu for the second leg: "It's not going to be easy, but the Bernabeu, on those Champions League nights, is very special. I wish all the luck in the world to my former teammates and not just because of my rivalry with City, but more for Madrid.
"It's everything, not just the pitch. It's also the city. The fans at the Bernabeu are the most demanding in the world. The key to everything is that Madrid is made to win. It doesn't matter how it is. Madrid is made to win. The main and most demanding value of this club can be summed up in one word: winning," he concluded.
