Real Madrid v Man City (20:00 GMT)
This fixture has been thrown up at us in various stages of the Champions League in the past four seasons.
And boy has it served up some crackers.
Last season, both sides found themselves in the play-offs after failing to finish inside the league phase’s top eight.
Jude Bellingham scored in stoppage time at Etihad Stadium to tee up a huge game at the Bernabeu and Kylian Mbappe delivered with a hat-trick to send Real Madrid into the last-16.

The season before that, a 3-3 cracker in Madrid teed up a mouth-watering quarter-final second leg in Manchester.
A tense draw meant penalties were needed and Los Blancos ultimately progressed after misses from Mateo Kovacic and Bernardo Silva.

Before that was Manchester City’s Treble-winning season, where Pep Guardiola’s side produced arguably their greatest ever Champions League performance to thrash Madrid in the semi-finals.
After a 1-1 at the Bernabeu, City cruised to a 4-0 win at the Etihad to reach the final.

And in 2021-22, Manchester City won the semi-final first leg at home 4-3 and looked to be heading for the Champions League final as they led the second leg in Madrid 1-0 heading into the 90th minute.
Cue two minutes of mayhem where Rodrygo scored twice to stun City and send the match to extra time, where Karim Benzema netted the winner to send them into the final, breaking City hearts in stunning style.
