Manchester City vs Real Madrid live stream: Where to watch Champions League

Real Madrid’s 3-0 victory in the UEFA Champions League first leg last week was one of the biggest surprises of the season so far, with Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City considered favorites before Federico Valverde’s stunning hat-trick at the Bernabeu. Real Madrid coach Alvaro Arbeloa will also see the return of Kylian Mbappé to the squad, as the Frenchman finally recovered before the second leg, as Arbeloa pointed out during the pre-match press conference, while he is still awaiting the return of Jude Bellingham.

“He wanted to come with his teammates to be with the team. He will continue and do part of the training, but he will not be available tomorrow. I am very happy to see him get closer and feel his presence. It will be very important for his teammates to see him training and tomorrow before the match, at half-time or after. He is a player who will be one of the leaders, and he already is. It is very important that he is here with us. Mbappe is already available, so you’ll see it tomorrow.”

Here’s what Guardiola said before the match.

“The first leg wasn’t the best, it’s sometimes difficult because we created four or five chances in the first 20 minutes and they had three shots on target and three goals. It’s the Champions League, that’s why it’s so difficult. We have to live with that and take more risks to try, but even if the result is not good in the first half, we still have to continue because you never know. We have to create a good match with our people and we will try.” Here’s what you need to know ahead of Tuesday’s match against Manchester City:
