Manchester City's hopes of reaching the last eight of this season's UEFA Champions League hinge on a major comeback today against Real Madrid, as City hosts the Spanish giant in this decisive second-leg clash.
Last Wednesday's opening encounter at the Santiago Bernabéu saw Federico Valverde hit an unbelievable first-half hat-trick to put Real Madrid in control of this last-16 matchup and leave City with a mountain to climb. On Saturday in the English Premier League, City were forced to settle for a 1-1 draw with relegation-threatened West Ham, but Guardiola's crew can draw inspiration from its stunning 4-0 semifinal second-leg win over Real back in 2023.
Manchester City takes on Real Madrid at the Etihad Stadium on Tuesday, March 17. Kickoff is set for 8 p.m. GMT local time in the UK, making it a 9 p.m. CET kickoff in Europe, a 4 p.m. ET or 1 p.m. PT start in the US, and a 7 a.m. AEDT kickoff in Australia on Wednesday morning.
Federico Valverde's superb first-leg hat-trick has given Real Madrid the upper hand in this round-of-16 matchup.

How to watch UEFA Champions League games with a VPN
If you're traveling abroad and want to keep up with Premier League action while away from home, a VPN can help enhance your privacy and security when streaming.
It encrypts your traffic and prevents your internet service provider from throttling your speeds, and can also be helpful when connecting to public Wi-Fi networks while traveling, adding an extra layer of protection for your devices and logins. VPNs are legal in many countries, including the US and Canada, and can be used for legitimate purposes such as improving online privacy and security.
However, some streaming services may have policies that restrict VPN use to access region-specific content. If you're considering a VPN for streaming, check the platform's terms of service to ensure compliance.
If you choose to use a VPN, follow the provider's installation instructions, ensuring you're connected securely and in compliance with applicable laws and service agreements. Some streaming platforms may block access when a VPN is detected, so verify whether your streaming subscription allows VPN use.
