MADRID LOOKING FOR THE SWEETEST OF 16S

Ronaldo to be honoured, but the REAL excitement is elsewhere

- DAVID MCDONNELL

CRISTIANO RONALDO may be the star attraction at today's Champions League draw but Real Madrid and Manchester City remain the teams to beat in the tournament.

Holders Real will be aiming for a record-extending 16th European Cup this season.

While City will be looking to add a second title to the one they won in 2023, when they claimed the Treble.

Ronaldo, who scored 140 goals in 183 Champions League appearances, will be honoured by UEFA with a special award at today's draw for the newlook format of the competition.
