Kelechi Iheanacho Fired Up Ahead Of Showdown With Real Madrid

Kelechi Iheanacho is eagerly looking forward to Tuesday night’s Champions League Semi-final, Game 1 between the Citizens and Real Madrid at the City of Manchester Stadium.

If the teenager is fielded by coach Manuel Pellegrini, he won’t be lacking confidence, having registered his name on the score sheet twice against Stoke City three days ago in the Premier League.

“Matchday: dare to dream #comoncity,” Iheanacho tweeted this afternoon.

Iheanacho is accustomed to most of the players in the Real Madrid ranks as he was part of the Man City squad that lost 4-1 to the European powerhouse in July 2015 in a pre-season fixture (International Champions Cup).

The Nigeria international came off the bench against Dynamo Kiev and PSG, managing only two minutes in both Champions League ties but will be hoping to get more game time today in front of the City faithful.
