Real Madrid and Manchester City face off again in the Champions League Round of 16, with the first leg scheduled for Wednesday, March 11, 2026, at the Estadio Santiago Bernabéu. This encounter marks the fifth consecutive season these two European giants have met in the knockout stages, a first in the competition’s history. Manchester City already secured a 2-1 victory at the Bernabéu earlier this season during the league phase.
Real Madrid:
Álvaro Arbeloa’s squad faces significant injury challenges. Star forward Kylian Mbappé is dealing with knee pain and is unlikely to start, while key midfielder Jude Bellingham and defender David Alaba are also expected to be absent.
Manchester City:
Pep Guardiola is without Josko Gvardiol, Rico Lewis, and Mateo Kovačić. However, Erling Haaland is fit and remains the primary threat, supported by an in-form Phil Foden and Rodri.
