Real Madrid will face Manchester City in the Champions League on Wednesday, marking their fifth consecutive season of meeting in this prestigious tournament.
The teams will have played each other three times this season by the end of the round of 16, following their earlier league encounter, which City won 2-1. However, City has been eliminated by Madrid in the last two seasons.
Injury Concerns for Real Madrid
Real Madrid will be without key players Kylian Mbappe, Jude Bellingham, and Rodrygo as they prepare for this crucial match against City, the 15-time champions of Europe.
PSG vs. Chelsea Rematch
Defending champions Paris Saint-Germain will host Chelsea, who won the Club World Cup after defeating PSG in last year’s final. This match serves as a rematch between the two elite teams.
Other Matches in the Round
In addition to these high-profile matches, Arsenal will travel to Bayer Leverkusen, while Bodø/Glimt will host Sporting Lisbon in other fixtures of the Champions League round of 16.
