Real Madrid and Manchester City renew their rivalry on Wednesday night with their second clash of the season and 17th overall, in one of the Champions League’s most hotly contested fixtures.
However, neither side has been at their best this season, with each team’s star player misfiring somewhat: Kylian Mbappe is missing due to injury and Erling Haaland is suffering a goal drought with just four in his last 17 games.
Real may even be the underdogs for once - although you’d be rash to write them off, having avenged a 4-2 defeat to Benfica in their final league phase encounter with a 3-1 victory in the knockout playoffs to make the last 16.
Man City progressed automatically to the last 16 and came out on top in their league phase match, winning 2-1 at the Bernabeu in December. Here’s everything you need to know ahead of the match.
When is Real Madrid v Man City?
Real Madrid host Man City at the Estadio Bernabeu in Madrid on Wednesday 11 March, with kick-off at 8pm GMT.
