Manchester City will have to overcome the most successful club in European history if they are to reach this year's Champions League Final in Milan.

Manuel Pellegrini's men were paired with Real Madrid in their first ever semi-final in the competition, with soon-to-be manager Pep Guardiola taking on Atletico Madrid with Bayern Munich. But despite Real's grand European history, many felt that City had actually just landed themselves the best possible draw. https://twitter.com/BeardedGenius/status/720911337925275648 https://twitter.com/GuillemBalague/status/720911893968367616   https://twitter.com/TwrzCraig/status/720910842959699968 https://twitter.com/mikeparry8/status/720911262146813953 And speaking of the 'Ronaldo factor', plenty of City supporters were bullish about facing the man who made his name down the road at Old Trafford. https://twitter.com/BMRisingTV/status/720911673410850816 https://twitter.com/kidkd7/status/720917146679840768 But despite such confidence from City supporters, others (mainly Manchester United fans) were tipping Ronaldo to bring Manuel Pellegrini's side's European adventure to an end. https://twitter.com/BasqueMaestro/status/720914371375927296 https://twitter.com/iCantDJ/status/720911443776946176 https://twitter.com/YesWeCrann/status/720913476336660480
