MADRID ¨C Rarely does record 15-time winner Real Madrid enter a Champions League clash as underdog but this is the situation when Manchester City visits the Santiago Bernabeu on Wednesday.
With key attackers Kylian Mbappe, Jude Bellingham and Rodrygo Goes set to miss the game injured and Alvaro Arbeloa¡¯s team in inconsistent form, the Premier League side is firm favorite in the last-16 tie.
City beat Madrid in the league phase in the Spanish capital and has strengthened since then, with Antoine Semenyo and Marc Guehi arriving, while midfielder Rodri is fit after missing that match during a long-term injury absence.
