• Madrid beat City on penalties to progress to the semi-finals of the competition
• The defending champions have often been blasted for supposed lack of history
• Exhausted Man City?! We're all tired, but it's dangerous to spread that message. Big games are what it's all about: Listen to the podcast 

A Real Madrid fan has hilariously outlined why they think Manchester City will 'never be as big' as themselves or rivals Manchester United.

Madrid got the better of defending champions City in their Champions League clash on Wednesday night, beating Pep Guardiola's side on penalties to reach the last four of the competition.

The result came as somewhat of a shock, with the game level on aggregate going into the game at the Etihad and City dominating the majority of the 120 minutes.

Madrid however got the job done, and their fans took to the streets of Manchester to celebrate their pending last four clash with Bayern Munich in a few weeks' time.

One supporter in particular, in a hilarious rant outside the ground, laid into City, criticising their fans and likening them to rivals United.

'I hate Guardiola but I need to say he is one of the best coaches in the world,' the ecstatic supporter began. 'It is true.

They continued: 'But let me tell you something as well. City, they don't deserve this amazing team because the supporters...' before performing a motion of a key locking their mouth.

'They cannot be like that. You give this team to United and see how excited they will be to see these kind of guys playing every single weekend. They City supporters... they will realise why they are not as big a team as Real Madrid, or Manchester United, Bayern Munich, Juventus, even Barcelona as well.

'We show we are the big team in Europe and in the world so maybe in the further you will realise how big Real Madrid is as well. Thank you very much.'

City won their first Champions League title last season, but are aiming to win their fourth Premier League title in a row.

They have largely only tasted major success since they were taken over by billionaire Sheikh Mansou in 2008, with the likes of Madrid and United enjoying winning major trophies long before that time.

City have won nine league titles in their history, compared to United's 20 and Real Madrid's 35.
