Madrid, of course, beat City at this stage last year on their way to a 14th European crown in the most dramatic of fashions.
Carlo Ancelotti’s team are the acid test in Europe. Something about this competition brings out the best in them, even if LaLiga form has slightly dipped of late.
Still, City now have a certain Erling Haaland in their ranks. Enjoying a remarkable debut campaign in England, the Norway forward was signed for nights like this.
