A depleted Real Madrid faces a familiar foe on Wednesday as it hosts Manchester City in this blockbuster UEFA Champions League round-of-16 matchup.
Today's clash marks the 16th meeting between these two behemoths in European club soccer's top tournament. The most recent encounter came in December, in a league-phase match that saw City claim an impressive 2-1 win away at the Bernabéu.
Both teams come into this clash in second place in their domestic leagues. Real currently trails Barcelona by four points in Spain's La Liga despite last Friday's 2-1 away victory over Celta Vigo. Coach Álvaro Arbeloa must contend with a selection crisis, with Jude Bellingham, Kylian Mbappé, Rodrygo and Álvaro Carreras all sidelined for this crucial match.
Manchester City, meanwhile, will be buoyed by a convincing 3-1 away win over Newcastle in the English FA Cup on Saturday, in a match in which Egyptian forward Omar Marmoush scored twice.
Real Madrid takes on Manchester City at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium on Wednesday, March 11. Kickoff is set for 9 p.m. CET local time, making it an 8 p.m. GMT kickoff in the UK, a 4 p.m. ET or 12 p.m. PT start in the US, and a 7 a.m. AEDT kickoff in Australia on Thursday morning.
