The standout tie in the last eight of the Champions League will see Real Madrid and Man City collide.

Los Blancos have been dominant throughout the tournament to this point, winning seven of their eight matches. However, they avoided an unlikely upset in the previous round against RB Leipzig after scraping through with a 2-1 aggregate success. Jude Bellingham will once again be the most important player for the home side in this tie.
