Champions League football is back this week, and the first two games that will start off the quarterfinals are Arsenal against Bayern Munich and Real Madrid against Manchester City. Real Madrid is not active this weekend as the Copa Del Rey final between Athletic Bilbao and Mallorca will take place, and the rest of the La Liga games have been canceled. For Manchester City, Pep Guardiola's team already played their Premier League game this weekend as they defeated Crystal Palace 4-2 away from home earlier today. Now, the full focus will be the game at the Santiago Bernabeu this Tuesday, and the two teams prepare for a great encounter. Real Madrid may have extra motivation against Manchester City after they found out how much the club can earn if they eliminate the Champions of Europe from the competition.

The fixture between Real Madrid and Manchester City will be two legs, and the games will be played in the next two weeks. Real Madrid will play at home first, and the second leg will be at Manchester City's Etihad Stadium. This schedule was similar to the previous year, where Real Madrid played at home first and then played away to City in the second leg. Man City got the edge over Real Madrid last year, but this year, the Spanish giants want to get their revenge.

Real Madrid is gaining more motivation for this game because of the financial prize they could receive if they eliminate Man City from the Champions League this season. According to the Spanish newspaper MARCA, Real Madrid could receive $13.5 million if they eliminate Manchester City. Real Madrid would reach the semi-finals if they eliminated Man City.
