MANCHESTER, England (Reuters) - Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola says his team, who face Real Madrid in their Champions League semi-final, first-leg on Tuesday, need to put aside the different European pedigrees of the two clubs and draw on their collective strength.

Real have won Europe's top trophy a record 13 times while City remain in search of their first Champions League title after losing in the final to Chelsea last year.

"We have the desire to compete against them. For us playing against them is an incredible test and we want to try it. Suffer when we suffer, stick together. Try to do as best as possible." "History is there, we can't change it, but it's eleven against eleven and one ball moving. The players decide their decision making," he said.

There is some history that is in City's favour, however -- two years ago Guardiola's side knocked the current La Liga leaders out of the competition in the last 16 stage after winning both legs 2-1.
