Manchester City will be "unstoppable" at home when they host Real Madrid in the second leg of their Champions League semi-final, winger Jack Grealish said.

The reigning Premier League champions are unbeaten at home since November and will hope to stretch that record in the second leg on May 17.

"At the Etihad, we feel unstoppable," Grealish told BT Sport. "We came here (at the Bernabeu) to try to win, but it shows our character to go a goal down in a place like this.

"In the end, I think it was a fair result. They had their chances, we had a few."

Grealish said the team "learned so much" since they were knocked out by Real in the Champions League semi-finals last season.

"We have the perfect balance of experience and youngsters," he added.

Real goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois said the second leg will be like a "final" for the Spanish side. "Next week will be like a final, and we are quite good at winning finals," Courtois said. "Hopefully we can mentalise it like that even though it is at City and it will be tough for us."
