What do we think?
As far as Champions League glamour goes, Real Madrid are the epitome of it and as supporters, that’s what the competition is all about – watching your beloved club pit their wits against the biggest and best names in the business.
On their day, Manchester City are capable of beating anybody and Real Madrid are a side Pep Guardiola is extremely familiar with having enjoyed a fierce rivalry with them during his time with their bitter rivals Barcelona. If the pair were to be drawn against one another, it would be one of the rounds most anticipated spectacles.
