SERGIO AGUERO has made an incredibly bold prediction for Manchester City's clash with Real Madrid. The two titans face off tonight in the Champions League play-off round after struggling through the league phase.

The retired striker is so confident that he jokingly offered to dismember himself if he was wrong. Speaking on the Som I Serem FCB Podcast, he said: "Real Madrid can not beat Man City. "If they beat City, I will cut off my testicles.". Aguero has more disdain for Real Madrid than the general City legend, having also played for Barcelona during his career.

“I will not deny how I trust with the players who gave us that incredible decade, winning a lot of things and playing a high standard, I know what we are capable of. “To be honest it is always better to have a second leg at home in case you have extra time with your people. “We play the second game away because we were not good in the group stage - when you finish 22nd you cannot ask for any favours.
