'It'll be like a final - and we're quite good at winning them!': Thibaut Courtois insists Real Madrid's big game experience will give them the edge over Man City as he looks forward to 'fun game' in Champions League second leg

Thibaut Courtois has insisted Real Madrid's experience of winning finals could give them the edge over Manchester City in the second leg of the Champions League semi-final.

The two sides go into the game at the Etihad next week tied at 1-1 after a scintillating first leg in Madrid, which saw Kevin De Bruyne's stunner cancel out Vinicius Jr's fine effort from the first half.

All is to play for in the return leg, but City haven't lost a home game in the competition for five years, leading to many believing they will have the edge in the tie.
