Manuel Pellegrini: 'Cristiano Ronaldo is not Real Madrid's only threat'

Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini says that there is more to Real Madrid than Cristiano Ronaldo.

Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini has played down Cristiano Ronaldo's threat by claiming that Real Madrid have more to them than the Portuguese star.

The three-time Ballon d'Or winner was declared fit for tomorrow's Champions League semi-final showdown at the Bernabeu after missing the first leg through injury.

Ronaldo single-handedly sent Madrid into the final four with a hat-trick against Wolfsburg, but Pellegrini claims that there are danger men all over the pitch.

"Cristiano will always be a different player - he scores a lot of goals and has throughout his six years here," Pellegrini told reporters. "However, I don't think Real are just Cristiano Ronaldo. We must work as a team defending and attacking. Not just against Ronaldo but against Real Madrid.

"Our motivation must be to reach a final which we've never done before against a great team in a beautiful stadium. It's important tomorrow because it's high pressure but we have the personality and the football to beat them.

"Everyone must trust in their team. We trust in ours and I hope we can demonstrate it in the 90 minutes. We are sure we will need to make a very good performance to reach the final – it would be the first time we've reached it."

The first leg at the Etihad Stadium finished goalless last week.
