City take on Real Madrid in Champions League quarter-final | OneFootball

City have been drawn against Real Madrid in the 2023/24 UEFA Champions League quarter-final.

The first leg will be played at Bernabeu Stadium on either 9 or 10 April with the return match at the Etihad Stadium on either 16 or 17 April.

City, of course, are the competition’s defending champions as we secured our first-ever UCL crown on a glorious night in Istanbul.

That defence has certainly gone well so far in this current campaign.

We emerged into the Round of 16 after easing through Group G with maximum points via wins home and away over Red Star Belgrade, RB Leipzig and Young Boys.

We followed that up by progressing to this current stage after a 6-2 aggregate victory over FC Copenhagen.

The second leg 3-1 win made it 30 Champions League games unbeaten at the Etihad - extending our English record in the competition to six matches better than Arsenal’s 24 from 2004-2009.

The result also meant we have gone 22 games unbeaten home and away in Europe and also won our last 10 Champions League matches, becoming the first English side ever to achieve that figure.
