Manchester City's Argentinean target man, Sergio Agüero, has assured that he is "highly motivated" to take away a victory against Real Madrid on Wednesday, in the fifth Champions League fixture.
However, he said that this is not based on his past as an Atlético de Madrid player, but because his team desperately needs a win to remain afloat in the competition.
"It's always special playing against a club like Real Madrid. Personally, my past with Atlético de Madrid gives it an extra touch, but that doesn't affect my motivation to win this game", said Agüero in statements published on his club's website.
Agüero's history in his games against Real Madrid is not particularly encouraging, given that he has never managed a win. "Never having won against Real Madrid with Atlético doesn't affect me. Atlético hasn't beaten Real for many years, but I have managed to score against them. I hope to break that run on Wednesday", he added.
The Sky Blue striker said that the fact that his team is entering this game in a delicate situation, last-placed in its group with little chance of qualifying, means it will play even harder in the clash.
"This game is even more important than if we were higher up the table. It may sound strange, but that's how I see it. We have to win it any way we can", he stated.
