One of the most anticipated fixtures in the UEFA Champions League is set to take place tonight as Manchester City host Real Madrid at the Etihad Stadium. A fixture worthy of the final, it has come early in the competition, making it a high-stakes battle as both teams aim to secure their place in the Round of 16.
Pep Guardiola’s City side will be looking to repeat their dominant performance from last to last season when they eliminated Los Blancos with an emphatic 4-0 victory at the Etihad. However, Carlo Ancelotti’s men, who boast a rich history in the tournament, will be determined to seek revenge and prove their European pedigree once again.
A boost for City comes in the form of Nico González, their recent January signing, who suffered a minor injury in their last Premier League game but has recovered in time for this crucial fixture. His availability adds depth to Guardiola’s squad as they prepare for Madrid’s attacking threats, led by Vinícius Jr. and Jude Bellingham.
