Mourinho wary of Man City threat as Champions League clash edges closer
Threat: Mourinho managed Mario Balotelli when the pair were at Inter

But Mourinho insists there is no added pressure to become kings of Europe this year.

'Real Madrid is Real Madrid, it’s the real thing. A club no football result, no cup competition, no coach, no player can ever change,' he said.

'Quite simply Real Madrid is a club like no other. It’s incomparable with any other club in the world.

'There is no team anywhere that can be compared with Real Madrid. None.

'Remember I was in Portugal, in England and in Italy before coming here to Madrid, so I know what I am saying. There are great clubs but the pressure and the expectation is the greatest here at Real Madrid.

'It is huge but it is an enjoyable pressure, not a suffocating one.'

Meanwhile, City boss Roberto Mancini has told his players to ignore Mourinho in the build up to Tuesday night's game, insisting that he can have little impact on the outcome of the game.

'I played against him twice, Lazio against Porto seven or eight years ago in the UEFA Cup. We lost 4-1 in Porto and drew 0-0 in Rome,' Mancini said.
