Manchester City were drawn against Real Madrid in the Champions League knockout phase for the sixth time since the 2019-20 season after the draw for the last 16, quarter-finals, and semi-finals was made on Friday, February 27, 2026.
Real Madrid and City have already faced each other once in the group stage, with City coming from behind to win 2-1 in December 2025.
Defending champions Paris St Germain (PSG) will face Chelsea in what will be a repeat of last year’s ill-tempered Club World Cup final, where the Premier League side came out on top. Arsenal, who finished top in the league phase, play Bayer Leverkusen, while Bayern Munich, who were second, play Atalanta.
Newcastle United will face Barcelona while Liverpool takes on Galatasaray. Premier League strugglers Tottenham Hotspur face Atletico Madrid while Norwegian upstarts Bodo/Glimt – who beat City, Atletico, and Inter Milan this season – take on Portuguese side Sporting.
