Manchester City are 180 minutes away from consecutive Champions League final appearances but face a huge task against the mighty Real Madrid.

City are on home soil for the first leg at the Etihad and they will be determined to make the most of this opportunity in front of their own fans.

Pep Guardiola’s men proved their mettle on the continent in the last round following a fiery encounter with streetwise Atletico Madrid, and now they face their city rivals for a place in the showpiece game.

City are yet to concede in the knockout rounds this season with four spotless clean sheets to their name. They will be eager to maintain that resolve when the likes of Karim Benzema come knocking.

Real Madrid just need one point from their remaining five La Liga matches to secure the title, meaning they can afford to open the taps and empty the tank in their Champions League encounters with City.

RadioTimes.com has rounded up everything you need to know about how to watch Man City v Real Madrid on TV and online.

Our prediction: Man City v Real Madrid

City continue to battle on multiple fronts. The pressure being absorbed and harnessed by Guardiola’s side is immense.

However, the Champions League is the one they desperately crave. It’s their ticket to the bona-fide European elite club. They will pour everything into seizing an advantage in the first leg.

City are resolute at the back and have all kinds of weapons capable of picking Madrid apart. Kevin De Bruyne and Luka Modric will provide devastating creativity for each side, but the hosts have enough to come out of this one with a slender lead.

Our prediction: Man City 2-1 Real Madrid (7/1 at Bet365)
