By Dave Walker
Manchester City will be hoping Jose
Mourinho’s pre-match prediction comes true and Ronaldo chalks up a hat-trick
with a difference in City’s do-or-die Champions League clash with Real Madrid.

Even the most rabid, sky blue tinted
spectacle wearing City fanatic would be hard pressed to believe their beloved
team can wriggle Houdini-like out of their Champions League straight jacket and concrete
boots.
With a paltry two points garnered from away
trips to Madrid and Amsterdam and home ties with the Dutch champions and
Borussia Dortmund, it will take one of the biggest and most unlikely
turnarounds in European history for City to grace the knockout stages.
It doesn't however, stop Roberto Mancini’s
men going out in a blaze of glory and inflicting serious damage on Madrid’s aspirations for a record 10th Euro crown.
