Manchester City struggle to prevent the best teams from scoring against them and their central defenders could be targeted in Friday’s Champions League clash against Spanish champion Real Madrid, former England skipper Wayne Rooney said.
Pep Guardiola’s City lead Real after they won the away leg of their last-16 tie 2-1 in March, before Europe’s elite club competition was suspended due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Rooney, who won the competition with Manchester United in 2008, said City have their best opportunity yet to lift the trophy for the first time.
Rooney said he expected Real to allow City to dominate possession and then aim to hit them on the counter.
