UCL returns with the tie of the round at Santiago Bernabeu as arguably the two best sides on the planet collide.
Man City are 3rd in EPL just one point behind Liverpool and Arsenal. They are on a 25-game unbeaten run that goes all the way back to early December. They have 21 wins and 4 draws in that time. Real Madrid is top of La Liga and have only lost once in 30 matches. They are unbeaten in 13 matches with 9 wins and 4 defeats. They lost to neighbours Atletico in Copa del Rey mid-January.
Team news: Madrid miss just Alaba and Courtois of their long-term problems. Eder Militao is back after long layoff. City will likely be without RB Kyle Walker and have doubts over Ake and Gvardiol at the back also.
Head-to-head statistics: 12 games – 4 wins Real Madrid, 3 draws and 5 wins Man City.
Betting selection – Will be a tight and tense 1st leg this and neither will want to cede to much ground to the other. Two master tacticians will go head-to-head. Take Man City draw no bet at 5-6 or 1.83 Unibet.
