Manchester City have little time to lick their wounds from the midweek Champions League loss as they now get set to face Premier League leaders Liverpool on Sunday.

Real Madrid advanced to the Champions League last 16 with a 3-1 victory — and a 6-3 aggregate win — against Manchester City on Wednesday night. Madrid started the game in excellent fashion, with Kylian Mbappe latching onto a long ball over the top in the fourth minute before lobbing Ederson in the City goal.

Real Madrid have won the away first leg of a European tie on 40 occasions. If Pep Guardiola wants a sense of how hard the task ahead of them is it is perhaps encapsulated in one statistic -- only on two of the previous 39 occasions have Los Merengues been eliminated from European competition.

The match is scheduled to start at 3 p.m. EST and will be broadcast exclusively on Paramount+. Fans looking to watch can do so through Paramount+, which offers exclusive live streams and on-demand replays of all UEFA Champions League matches along with a free trial when you sign up.
