Man City showed against Real Madrid they are 'extra hungry' for Champions League glory, says Sterling

Manchester City showed they are "extra hungry" for Champions League glory against Real Madrid, says Raheem Sterling.

City booked their place in the quarter-finals of this season's European Cup by beating Madrid 2-1 at Etihad Stadium on Friday night.

Pep Guardiola's men won the first leg by the same scoreline at the Santiago Bernabeu, and once again proved too strong for the Liga champions in Manchester.

Sterling opened the scoring for City when he tapped into the net after Gabriel Jesus dispossessed Raphael Varane in the box, and although the Blancos were able to equalise through a Karim Benzema header, the home side always looked in control.
