Your support makes all the difference.Manchester City will face Real Madrid in the Champions League last 16.
The 13-time European champions will host the first leg at the Bernabeu on 26 February, with City hosting the second leg at the Etihad on 17 March.
The Blues topped group C and remain unbeaten this season in Europe, having entered the draw as favourites for the competition. City finished ahead of runners-up Atalanta, as well as Shakhtar Donetsk and Dinamo Zagreb.
Guardiola will be desperate to advance to the semi-finals at least with the Champions League the final piece in City’s relentless pursuit of global dominance.
And the pain of their quarter-final exit at the hands of Spurs last season will not go away until they finally achieve their holy grail.
The last 16 fixtures begin on 18-19 February and 25-26 February, with the second legs concluding the ties on 10-11 March and 17-18 March.
