Nyon (Switzerland): Manchester City face 13-time winners Real Madrid while holders Liverpool will return to the scene of last season's Champions League triumph after they were drawn against Atletico Madrid in the Last 16 of the competition on Monday. Pep Guardiola's City, who are trying to win a first Champions League crown, face a tough task against Real, the record winners of Europe's top club prize, for a place in the quarter-finals.

'Real are the best'

"It is a difficult one, of course. Real Madrid have won 13 times so they are the best. We want to be the best, so we want to beat them," City director of football Txiki Begiristain said. Interestingly, the clash is a first competitive meeting between Guardiola and Zinedine Zidane, who won the Champions League three times in a row with Real from 2016.
