There are just four games left now in Manchester City's season but after crumbling in the Bernabeu against Real Madrid, there's a lot more than 12 points and the Premier League on the line.
Carlo Ancelotti credited Real's history as a reason behind their stunning fightback in the Champions League semi-final on Wednesday night. 'If you have to say why, it is the history of this club that helps us to keep going when it seems that we are gone,' he said.
At City, for all the resources they now have, they are still carving out their identity as one of Europe's heavyweight.
