Here is how to watch Man City in the Real Madrid tonight, as leg one of the Champions League playoff is set to commence at the Etihad Stadium.

Due to both teams underperforming (by their own high standards), Man City and Real Madrid will meet in the Champions League. They are the two most recent winners of the competition, but only one side will make it through to the group stage.

Admittedly, Real Madrid had a better group-stage campaign than Man City did. Los Blancos were only one point away from automatic qualification, whereas City was just one point from elimination. However, neither side will take any joy from how they played in the opening stage.

Many fans were thrilled to see how the new Champions League format panned out. Looking at the new format objectively, it did provide some entertainment and added further jeopardy to the group stage.

However, this fixture has proven that there is a loophole to be addressed. After all, seeding appears to be redundant now that the two previous winners will face off against one another this week.

Tonight's fixture will be played at Etihad Stadium. Real Madrid will travel to face an out-of-form Pep Guardiola side, in a time when there has never been a better period to play him.

Then, Man City will return the favour by travelling to the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium for the second leg.
