Manchester City plays their first match of the UEFA Champions League Knockout phase on Tuesday (11 February) because they welcome Real Madrid at Etihad. The Premier League champions avoided an early exit last month thanks to a 3-1 win over the Belgian side club Brugge.
As a result, they qualified for the play-offs of two legs in the 22nd place of 36 teams, in which the men of Pep Guardiola picked up 11 points from eight games. However, it has not been clear for the 36 times La Liga winners, where the Jude Bellingham team loses three of their eight European luminaires this season.
The match of Tuesday marks the fifth time that Man City and Real Madrid have met in the last six Champions League campaigns. City achieved an emphatic 5-1 victory over two semi-final legs in the 2022/23 season, but was eliminated 4-3 when Madrid took revenge last season.
Prior to the game, Guardiola told Sky Sports that it is 'impossible' to stop Madrid Front Four Vinicius JR, Rodrygo, Kylian Mbappe and Jude Bellingham. He said: “It is impossible in 90 minutes, 180 minutes or 200 minutes to control these four players.
“Everyone knows, so I don't say anything new – they are exceptional. How they combine, the runners, the skill against one, how they keep the ball. All four are exceptional. We must reduce their involvement as much as possible and know that it will happen, accept it. “
Unlike the majority of the Champions League matches, Man City vs Real Madrid will not be shown on TNT sports, but there is still a way to see the match completely free.
