Manchester: Sadio Mane&rsquo;s hat-trick ensured Man City will face Real Madrid in the second leg of the Champions League semi-final on the back of a 4-2 defeat at Southampton yesterday.

Already frustrated at being forced to play this game three days before the trip to the Bernabeu when his side will attempt to build on a scoreless first leg, City manager Manuel Pellegrini&rsquo;s mood will have only darkened from the moment Shane Long put Southampton on course for a resounding victory.
The loss leaves Pellegrini&rsquo;s men in fourth place, four points ahead of Man United who have a game in hand, and while City&rsquo;s Kelechi Iheanacho scored twice, there were few positives for the visitors ahead of next week&rsquo;s decisive clash in Madrid.
Pellegrini made eight changes to the side that faced Real at Eastlands last Tuesday.
