How sweet it would be to get the better of Real arrogance

The quarter-final draw is set to take place on Friday, with some of the biggest names in Europe – minus Paris Saint-Germain of course – set to be in the pot.

The full complement of participants won’t be known until the round-of-16 concludes this week, but there is one big name who have booked their place who City should hope to draw.

Real Madrid may have pulled off a sensational comeback to eliminate PSG this week, but Blues fans should relish facing them.

City eliminated the Spaniards at the round-of-16 stage in 2019/20, but thanks to the pandemic, it was all a bit weird.
