Training: City gear up ahead of Real Madrid clash

City rounded off final preparations at the CFA on Wednesday ahead of Thursday’s huge UEFA Women’s Champions League clash at home to Real Madrid, kick-off 20.00 (UK).

Andree Jeglertz’s squad will be seeking to build on last week’s impressive 2-2 draw away at Bayern Munich in our opening European clash when we host the Spanish side at the Joie Stadium.

It promises to be a tough test against a Real side packed with quality.
