The City fans and players, including head coach Pep Guardiola, understand the task of overturning the deficit in Madrid.
Guardiola spoke to the media after his side beat Newcastle United 4-0 in the Premier League, giving a percentage of City's chances when they step into the Bernabeu field.
Of course the victory helps us, but the margin to win at the Bernabeu, in that position, everybody knows that if you ask before the game, the percentage to go through, I don't know, when we arrive, is one per cent.Pep Guardiola

It will be minimal, but as much as you have a chance, we will try, that's for sure, you know? So we're going there, like always, like we have done, but this season, the reality is that we have been miles and miles away.Pep Guardiola
