Manchester City is confronted with Real Madrid in the Santiago Bernabeu with their Champions League hopes to hang on a thread.
The citizens arrive in the second stage of the knockout phase play-off on Wednesday evening and lost the reverse fixture 3-2 on Etihad in a dramatic way last Tuesday. Despite the leading of five minutes to go, goals from the former Sky Blue Brahim Diaz and England star Jude Bellingham Carlo Ancelotti's side saw the initiative in the draw.
A brace from Erling Haaland had left the city on the edge of the victory in the night. The second of the Norwegian International seemed to have canceled the lucky equalizer of Kylian Mbappe, but Madrid gathered to the side of Pep Guardiola in the final phase.
City must now organize a dramatic comeback of itself and will sweat on Haaland's fitness after he had managed himself with a knee problem in their 4-0 thrashing from Newcastle United in the Premier League on Saturday. Bellingham was sent the same day before Los Blancos in La Liga, but that suspension does not apply in Europe and is available to prevent.
Madrid and City are responsible for the last three winners of the tournament with the Guardiola team who claim the trophy in 2023, sandwiched between the two triumphs of the Spanish club in 2022 and 2024. Yet one of the European heavyweights will not be on their way To Friday's draw for the remaining stages.
It also means that City will have to win in the Bernabeu, a land where they have won once in six attempts. And here you can follow the promotion.
