The 2025 Champions League round of 16 play-off draw set up a massive clash, as record holders Real Madrid take on defending champions and Premier League winners Manchester City.
Real Madrid reached this stage after finishing 11th in the group standings with 15 points. Meanwhile, City barely secured qualification, finishing 22nd with 11 points in the final round.
These two clubs have met often in recent years. In 2022, Madrid pulled off a historic comeback at the Santiago Bernabeu to knock out City in the semi-finals. The English side got revenge in 2023 with a dominant 4-0 win at the Etihad. Madrid responded last season by eliminating City on penalties in the quarter-finals.
