‘I wanted City to get Lyon or some club like that, but Real Madrid is going to be a tough game, a very, very tough game,’ Toure told Omnisport.
‘But we will see – the first game is at the Bernabeu and then it is [at the] Etihad.
‘Real Madrid could knock us straight out. They could, they really could, because we expect Real Madrid to be in the quarter-finals, the semi-finals and now they face City.
