Manchester City come into this match off the back of a hard-fought 1-0 aggregate win over Atletico Madrid, while Real Madrid saw a lot more action in their 5-4 aggregate matchup against Chelsea.
Real Madrid have already tasted victory in England this tournament, beating Chelsea 3-1 at Stamford Bridge, but there’s no denying City pose a new challenge altogether. City are unbeaten in their last 12 matches at home (winning eight) and they are deserved favourites in the opening leg.
