A 5-1 aggregate victory over Manchester City was enough to secure Real Madrid a place in the Champions League quarter-finals. They earned a 3-0 home win in the first leg before edging out a 2-1 away triumph in the second meeting.

Real Madrid head into this clash off the back of a 2-1 defeat at Mallorca in a Spanish La Liga fixture on Saturday. That result ended a run of five straight league wins across all competitions, and manager Alvaro Arbeloa will be keen to get back on track.
