Real Madrid-Man City in CL quarters

One day, Real Madrid and Manchester City might actually meet in a stellar Champions League final. Just not yet. The winners of the last two Champions Leagues will meet in the quarterfinals next month after Friday’s draw set up another heavyweight clash between the only unbeated teams. They played each other in the semifinals the previous two years when the path to the European title went through each other. Madrid won in 2022 with a stunning late comeback in the second leg while City beat the record 14-time champion last year before lifting its first European Cup trophy. In their latest meeting, Madrid will host the first leg on April 9 and defending champion Man City stages the return eight days later. “If you want to win (the title) you have to beat the best teams. They might be the best team in Europe at this moment,” Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti, pictured, said of playing City. “We have all the confidence in the world.” Kylian Mbappé’s path to a first league title with Paris Saint-Germain in his farewell season there will go through Barcelona. PSG hosts the first leg on April 10.
