Real Madrid and Manchester City try again champions league on wednesday.
The rivals have been drawn in Europe’s biggest club soccer competition for the fifth consecutive season.
The two sides, who faced each other at league stage, will have faced each other three times this season by the end of the round of 16.
City won that match 2-1, but they go into this encounter knowing that they have lost to Madrid in both of the past two seasons.
Madrid are missing big names Kylian Mbappe Jude Bellingham and Rodrigo will do their best to become 15-time champions.
Defending champions Paris Saint-Germain will host Club World Cup winner Chelsea.
Chelsea defeated PSG in last year’s final and were crowned world champions, but this time it will be a rematch with the giants.
In other matches, Arsenal face Bayer Leverkusen and Bodø/Glimt face Sporting Lisbon.
