Manchester City host Real Madrid in the first leg of their Champions League play-off tie this evening as two of Europe’s biggest clubs collide.Manchester City managed to sneak in to the play-offs with a 3-1 win over Club Brugge in the final match of the league phase after a difficult continental campaign.

City, though, could roll out a new look after spending more than $200 million on new players in the winter transfer window, including European debuts for midfielder Nico Gonzalez and forward Omar Marmoush. Madrid will, as usual, rely on their star-studded attack featuring Kylian Mbappe and Jude Bellingham to see them through to the next round.
