Spanish powerhouses Real Madrid are up against Manchester City in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League Round of 16 clash on Thursday.
The two sides last met at the semifinal stage of the Champions League in the 2015-16 season where Real Madrid triumphed 1-0 on aggregate, an own goal from Fernando in the second leg proving to be the difference.
Real Madrid come into this match after finishing second in Group A, five points behind leaders PSG. Manchester City, however, coasted through Group C which had Atalanta, Shakhtar Donetsk and Dinamo Zagreb with an unbeaten record.

Match Preview
Zinedine Zidane's cause has not been helped by the fact that Hazard was ruled out with an injury in the run up to this game. It represents a blow for the Los Blancos because they have been struggling to score goals since the turn of the new year. Karim Benzema's goal returns have dwindled.
City's defensive record on the road in the Champions League is far from impressive, with the Blues keeping just two clean sheets in their last nine away games.
Both of those shutouts came against Shakthar Donetsk and during that run of nine games, unfancied sides such as Dinamo Zagreb, Schalke, Hoffenheim and Lyon have all scored at home against Guardiola's men.
Madrid have failed to score just once at home in the Champions League in the last nine years and that failure came in their final group game last season when they were already through to the knockout stages.
Indeed, there has been plenty of entertainment at the Bernabeu in recent European games with each of Madrid's last 11 home games in the Champions League seeing over 2.5 goals.
However, Zidane has never lost a European knockout tie and Los Blancos will hope that record does not chance this time around.
