Former Kwara United gaffer Abdullahi Biffo has tipped Manchester City to progress to the finals of the Champions League.

This comes after Pep Guardiola's men forced the Spanish giant to a 1-1 draw on Tuesday, May 9 in the first-leg encounter at the Santiago Bernabeu.

"I had to travel from the US to watch this game and I must say that I was impressed with Man City because they played together as a team and I see them progressing to the final.

"If Madrid had won, it would have been difficult for Man City in the return leg, but now, Guardiola and his players will come out and attack at the Etihad because they scored an away goal and they will win. It's over for Real Madrid I want to say.''

The Los Blancos were tipped to win against the reigning English champions despite creating a number of scoring chances.

Real Madrid players started the battle aggressively as they were looking for an early goal against the Citizens who would have their goalkeeper Ederson to thank for his incredible saves.

Vinicius Junior eventually scored for the hosts in the 36th minute, but Kevin De Bruyne restored parity for Man City in the 67th minute.
