Real Madrid will be away to Manchester City in a
UEFA Champions League Round of 16 first-leg clash at the Etihad Stadium on 07 August 2020.
The Spanish giants, who lost 2-1 in the first-leg clash at home, are looking to reach the quarter-finals for the first time since the 2017/18 season.
The Whites will once again pin their hopes on lethal attackers Karim Benzema and Gareth Bale, who have won this competition with the club.
Karim Benzema, the Real striker, has stressed the importance of their clash with City as record 13-time Champions League winners seek revenge.
"We're working hard and have got a few days ahead of us to keep that up and continue on in the same vein as we did in LaLiga," Benzema said.
"The Champions League is up next, we know we've got an important game and that it's one we need to win.
"I'm feeling really good and we're going to prepare for the Manchester City game as best we can."
Meanwhile, City are hoping to progress to the quarter-finals having been eliminated in the last eight in the previous campaign.
The former English champions will look to Raheem Sterling and Bernardo Silva, who inspired the team to last season's Premier League title.
City have never won the Champions League title and they are hoping to go all the way this year and clinch their maiden trophy.
The last time City hosted Real clashed in a competitive match was on 26 April 2016.
The two teams played to a 0-0 draw in the Champions League match at the Etihad Stadium.
