The highly anticipated Champions League is set to resume this week, with all eyes on Manchester City and Real Madrid, the two dominant teams from the past seasons. These teams have been unstoppable, being the only ones to sweep through the group stage with flawless six wins. As the round of 16 commences, both Manchester City and Real Madrid will be in action on Tuesday, marking the beginning of the most prestigious competition in club soccer.
Manchester City will face Copenhagen, a team making their first appearance in the knockout stage in over a decade. The Premier League leaders will be boosted by the return of Erling Haaland, who proved his return to form by scoring both goals in City's 2-0 win against Everton. Haaland, with a league-leading 16 goals, will aim to guide his team to victory once again, just like he did when City defeated Leipzig 3-2 in the group stage.
