The Spain international, who has not lost any of his last 66 games for club and country in a run stretching back more than a year, is vital to City바카라�s bid to make history.

Yet Pep Guardiola바카라�s influential midfield driving force looked laboured at times in Tuesday바카라�s thrilling 3-3 Champions League draw at Real Madrid and concedes the schedule is taking its toll.

The 27-year-old said: 바카라�Every one of us can do better, even myself, but we need to rest to be honest.

바카라�I do. I do need a rest. Let바카라�s see how we speak, how we live the situation. Sometimes it is what it is.

바카라�I need to adjust. It (rest) is something we are planning, yes.바카라�

Guardiola could therefore make some changes for Saturday바카라�s Premier League encounter with relegation-threatened Luton, as he looks ahead to the return clash with Real next Wednesday.

Yet with just a point separating the top three in the domestic competition, there is little margin for error for third-placed City.

Rodri felt the holders showed their mettle as they recovered from a 2-1 half-time deficit to lead on an enthralling night at the Bernabeu Stadium.

Bernardo Silva바카라�s early strike was wiped out by a Ruben Dias own goal and Rodrygo effort, but the English side responded with stunning strikes from Phil Foden and Josko Gvardiol.

Real, however, were able to have the final say as Federico Valverde volleyed a late equaliser to ensure the second leg of the quarter-final tie will begin evenly poised.

바카라�We showed our mentality to come back, to be honest,바카라� said Rodri. 바카라�To go against them and come back with those goals sums up the mentality of the champions we are.

바카라�It was a good result for us in terms of how the game was and everything is open. It바카라�s one game in our home now and we are very strong there.바카라�

City claimed a draw at the Santiago Bernabeu in the first leg of the semi-finals last year before thrashing the Spanish giants 4-0 at the Etihad Stadium to go through.

바카라�Of course we can recreate it,바카라� said Rodri, a former Atletico Madrid player. 바카라�We know how strong we are in our home.

바카라�The key thing was, we knew whatever happened it wasn바카라�t going to be over, even if we won or we lost. We have a draw that is the same result we had last season.

바카라�It바카라�s a good result in terms of the feeling of the team. We were finding the spaces in the second half, we did it great and now we move to Manchester. If we copy the first 20-30 minutes of the second half here, it바카라�s going to be difficult for them.바카라�
