Hello! And welcome along to The Athletic where we are full of Champions League fever once again.
We are bringing you live coverage of the yet another instalment of Real Madrid vs Manchester City, European football’s newest heavyweight rivalry.
It looked like the Premier League champions might be taking a lead into today’s second leg but a late fightback from the Champions League holders means they hold all the cards. So it is, instead, City who must overturn a first-leg deficit in the Spanish capital later on.
Their big Premier League win at the weekend will give them optimism but it is a tall order, to say the least.
We’re building up to kick-off at the Bernabeu over the next few hours, so make sure to stick around!
