Real Madrid star admits fear of 'scary' Man City ahead of Champions League semi-final showdown

Real Madrid star Rodrygo has admitted that facing Manchester City and striker Erling Haaland is a 'scary' prospect.
After a difficult start to 2023, City have roared back to their best form in recent weeks and have now gone a massive 19 games without a defeat.

But awaiting them there are old foes Real Madrid, the holders, the kings of the tournament and the team that defeated the Blues at the same stage last season. The difference this time around, though, is that City now have Haaland in their ranks.

Winger Rodrygo doesn't sound too confident ahead of coming up against Haaland or City in general.
“Haaland scores a lot of goals, no one knows how to stop him. I hope he doesn’t score against us,” the Brazilian told RTVE. “Manchester City is always scary. They are a great team, they play very well, but we are confident that we can win."
Los Blancos slipped to another La Liga defeat on Tuesday as a David Silva-inspired Real Sociedad defeated them 2-0. However, Rodrygo insists his side remains composed ahead of meeting the Blues.
“We are all angry after the defeat against Real Sociedad, but we are more calm and focused on the upcoming matches," he added. "We have important matches like the Copa del Rey final
