Man City vs. Real Madrid Champions League prediction, start time, how to watch

Manchester City returns home to the Etihad Stadium down 3-0 against Real Madrid on Tuesday in the second leg of their UEFA Champions League round of 16 tie. City needs to score at least three times without conceding keep hope of advancing alive. Federico Valverde scored all three first-leg goals in the opening 45 minutes at the Santiago Bernabéu, including a finish from an extremely tight angle and a volley to cap his first career hat trick. Pep Guardiola's side started the first leg brightly and had some chances, but Thibaut Courtois was in inspired form and Real punished City on the counter three times before halftime to take a commanding lead in the tie. Real Madrid arrives at the Etihad just needing to keep the match close. Los Blancos may also get a boost through the return of Kylian Mbappé and Jude Bellingham, who were absent in the first leg. Álvaro Arbeloa's side has knocked City out of the Champions League in each of the last two seasons and will look to Valverde and Vinicius Junior to carry the attack again in Manchester, where Real has not lost in its last four visits.

City has the crowd and Erling Haaland on its side, but overturning a three-goal deficit against Real Madrid at this stage of the Champions League seems nearly impossible, even at the Etihad.
