Rio Ferdinand 'never doubted' Real Madrid's quality in shock comeback win against Man City as Spanish giants 'have been comfortable suffering' throughout knockout stages en route to reaching Champions League final

Rio Ferdinand insists he isn't shocked by Real Madrid's dramatic Champions League win over Manchester City due to the quality within their ranks.

Real looked destined to be crashing out of the semi-finals when they trailed City 5-3 on aggregate with just minutes left of the second half.

City led 1-0 on the night in the second leg when Riyad Mahrez scored after 73 minutes but Real substitute Rodrygo equalised in the last minute of normal time and headed home one minute later to level the tie at 5-5.
