Manchester City will be away to Real Madrid in the
UEFA Champions League Round of 16 first-leg clash at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu on February 26.
The Citizens are looking to become the sixth English club to win the Champions League title and join Liverpool FC, Manchester United, Chelsea, Aston Villa and Nottingham Forest.
They will look to their deadly front three Sergio Aguero, Raheem Sterling and Bernardo Silva, who inspired the team to last season's English Premier League title.
Their manager Pep Guardiola ensured that his side finished at the top of the Group C standings and he is now looking to mastermind Real's downfall.

Meanwhile, Real are desperate for some Champions League success having won the most titles - 13.
The Whites will pin their hopes on lethal attackers Karim Benzema and Gareth Bale, who have won this competition with the club.
Zinedine Zidane, the Real manager, guided the team to a second spot finish in Group A and he is now looking to guide his side to the quarter-finals.
Zidane is wary of the threat City pose and he is expecting a difficult match against the reigning English champions.
"I'm not going to go into what happened, what is going to happen," Zidane said on Mirror.
"It's a team anyway, who will be a difficult opponent, knowing also how they have been doing in the Premier League. So they will have extra motivation.
"It's a rival who are going to be very, very difficult, it's a very big team."
The last time Real and City clashed in a competitive match was on the 4th of May 2016.
Real secured a 1-0 victory over City in the Champions League match at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu.
