Real Madrid have drawn Manchester City in the Champions League’s Round of 16. With Sporting Lisbon as the other option Los Blancos could’ve faced in the next round of the competition, this is definitely the toughest outcome for madridistas.
Madrid and Manchester City have already played each other this season, with Guardiola’s men conquering the Santiago Bernabéu even after a competitive performance by Real Madrid, who were still coached by Xabi Alonso back then.
City will likely be considered the
favorites in this tie and while they have not been at their best in recent months, the same can be said about Real Madrid. Still, it should be a highly competitive matchup between two teams who were considered contenders for the Champions League title when the season started.
