Rio Ferdinand insists Man City have the 'personality and character' to avenge last season's Champions League semi-final defeat to Real Madrid... but claims the 'horror show' will still be on the visitors' minds

Rio Ferdinand believes that Manchester City have the personnel to get over last year's Champions League heartbreak and defeat Real Madrid - even if the devastating lost will still be in their minds.

The Spanish side knocked Pep Guardiola's side out of the competition at the semi-final stage, and went on to beat Liverpool to lift their 14th European Cup.

City, however, are still looking for the first Champions League triumph, having come closest to winning the trophy in 2021 when they lost in the final to Premier League rivals.
