Game Preview
Manchester City hold a slim 2-1 lead following the result in the first leg, though those two goals might turn out to be extremely valuable because both were scored away. As such, they could still reach the next stage with a 1-0 loss or a 1-1 draw. That said, they can't get complacent. Real Madrid are a completely different team compared to the side that faced the Citizens earlier this year, as they pulled off a stunning comeback to win the 2019-20 Liga title. Manchester City might have the edge on paper, but it would be a mistake to write Real Madrid off, especially considering the difference in the score is minimal.

Raheem Sterling, Manchester City: Sterling was one of Manchester City's best players during the 2019-20 Premier League season, finishing the campaign with 20 goals in 33 appearances. He was also one of the team's most productive players in the Champions League, racking up five goals and two assists in seven appearances (four starts).
Kevin De Bruyne, Manchester City: De Bruyne settled himself as one of the top play-makers in Europe during the 2019-20 season, and he finished the Premier League campaign with 13 goals and 20 assists, ranking as the league's ultimate double threat. He only has one goal and two assists in five Champions League appearances, but City will need him at his best if they want to make it to the next round.
