Jérémy Doku has warned Real Madrid that Manchester City still believe they can overturn their 3-0 Champions League deficit despite the daunting task facing them in the second leg.

Federico Valverde stole the show with a stunning hat-trick in Madrid's 3-0 win at the Etihad, leaving City needing to win by at least three clear goals to reach the quarterfinals. Doku acknowledged the massive challenge but pointed to their 4-0 win in the 2023 semi-final second leg as proof it's possible.

Doku believes Gianluigi Donnarumma's crucial save from Vinícius Júnior's penalty could be pivotal, stating that moving from 3-0 to 4-0 is a "completely different score." He urged City fans to create an intimidating atmosphere at the Etihad to put pressure on Madrid, insisting their support is vital for their chances.

City face West Ham before the second leg but Doku expressed confidence in their quality and their ability to perform at home, trusting their fans will be there to cheer them on.
