Kelechi Iheanacho says it would be a “dream come true” to play for Manchester City 
against Real Madrid and Cristiano Ronaldo in the Champions League, ESPN FC reports.
The striker scored twice in the 4-0 victory over Stoke City on Saturday as Manchester 
City strengthened their grip on a Champions League place for next season.
Now the 19-year-old, who has 11 goals in 29 appearances in his debut season with the 
first team, is hoping he gets a chance to make an impact in the first leg against 
Madrid on Tuesday.

“Ronaldo and Messi are the greatest players on the planet so I think playing against 
them is a big thing to anyone so it would be a big thing to me if I play against 
him on Tuesday.Iheanacho told reporters,  “I think I should dream about that because 
it’s a great team to dream about. It would be a dream come true to play against 
them. I think I’ll be happy when I play against them.
“We really need to win here because at their home it’s not going to be an easy game 
so we need to show character and work hard and make sure we get a win.
“It’s a great achievement for the club and for everybody being in the last four 
of the tournament. We really need to go forward and get to the final. It would be a 
dream when we get to the final so we’re really hoping for that.”
Iheanacho started his first Premier League game in 10 weeks in the win over Stoke, 
which moved City back up to third in the table and five points clear of Manchester 
United in the battle for a top-four finish.
He is unlikely to start against Zinedine Zidane’s side, despite his two goals, with 
manager Manuel Pellegrini having a virtually fully fit squad to choose from.
The City boss was also able to give some rest to key players against Stoke but 
Iheanacho insists he will be ready if he gets the call.
“It was a great performance for everybody, everybody really did well, so it depends 
on who the manager picks – everyone is fit to face Madrid,” he added.
