The national championships have concluded, with the title of LaLiga Santander for whites, 34th of his extraordinary record. Now the team trained by Zinedine Zidane face the Champions League with the handicap of the first leg result (1-2 for City in the Santiago Bernabeu) and the discharge of the team captain, Sergio Ramos. If for something the Real Madrid This year it has been due to their excellent work on the defensive side, since it has been the team with the fewest goals in championship garter belt. Now, this approach will not be valid for them, since they need to score at least two goals to achieve the pass or, failing that, force a tie.
For his part, Manchester City of Pep Guardiola have to put extra effort into Champions, since both in the Premier League like in the FA Cup they have not had the desired result. They achieved the title in the Carabao Cup, after defeating Aston Villa (2-1) in the final, but they fell in the semis of the Queen's Cup (2-0 against Arsenal, eventually champion) and were in second position in the League, but very far from Liverpool, successful champion of the competition more than two decades later.

Starting in the quarterfinals, all qualifiers will be resolved by single party and will be played at the headquarters of the José Alvalade stadium, owned by Sporting de Lisbon, in the Portuguese town.
