Pep Guardiola's City have been handed one of the toughest draws possible, with Zinedine Zidane back in the Real hotseat after winning this competition in 2016, 2017 and 2018. The pressure is on City to finally win the Champions League before they serve a two-year ban courtesy of Uefa. Though City will fight the ban in the Court of Arbitration for Sport - and possibly beyond - this may be their final chance to lift the trophy until 2023 at the earliest. As for Real, they are back on track with Zidane. Though they lack the star quality of Cristiano Ronaldo this time around, Los Blancos are proving to be a mean defensive unit this term - and they have enough Champions League winners in their squad to cope with tests like this. Date: Wednesday, February 26, 2020 Venue: Santiago Bernabeu , Madrid, Spain Kick-off time: 8pm GMT
Probably not the most entertaining game of last night,but the SPANISH GIANTS proved some worth as they held-on to beat Liverpool 1-0 with the goal coming during the 4th minute courtesy of Niguez.Atletico Madrid who had only won 1 in their past 7 league matches showed some class last night as Liverpool were unable to get a shot against them.Classsic right?The second leg would be played at Anfield,Liverpool's home stadium,next month to determine who would qualify for the next round...
Do you know that Cristiano Ronaldo has more Champions League goals than Atletico Madrid? The Portuguese star has scored a total record 128 Champions league goals;1 more than Atletico Madrid players have scored combined.Interesting isn't it?
