Prediction: Man City 2-2 Real Madrid
Real need to score at least twice in Manchester to stand any chance of progressing, so expect them to attack from the off.
City's defence has been far from solid of late, but Guardiola's men should have enough to get the result needed on the night to reach the quarter-finals.

The two sides have met five times previously in the Champions League.
