"The visitors won the first leg 3-0 at the Santiago Bernabeu - Federico Valverde scoring a wonderful hat-trick - to take command of this round-of-16 tie. City have won just one of their last six clashes with Madrid but did beat them 4-0 in the second leg of the 2022/23 semi-finals."
"A Pep Guardiola side has not progressed from a Champions League knockout tie after losing the first leg since the 2014-15 quarter-finals when he managed Bayern Munich against Porto. Real Madrid have never been eliminated from a major European competition after winning the first leg by three goals or more."
