The day has arrived. On Wednesday 19th February, Real Madrid will experience one of those magical Champions League nights at the Santiago Bernabéu. A night of all or nothing, heads or tails, against Manchester City in which only one can go through to the last sixteen. One of Europe’s greats will be left out of the European competition and the Whites don’t want to be the ones chosen.
Carlo Ancelotti’s side have the advantage after becoming the King of Europe at the Etihad. Haaland even put his side ahead on two occasions, but first Mbappé equalized in the 60th minute to make it 1-1, and then, when the game seemed lost, Brahim made it 2-2 and in injury time Bellingham appeared to make it 2-3 and achieve an important victory for the Whites.
It was an important win in terms of gaining an advantage and what that means for the match on Wednesday the 19th at the Santiago Bernabéu. Carlo Ancelotti‘s side go into the second leg of the play-off for a place in the round of 16 at the Santiago Bernabéu with a favourable record of 36 European play-offs won out of 38 previous matches after winning the first leg away from home, according to BeSoccer data.
The Champions League playoff match between Real Madrid and Manchester City will be played this Wednesday, February 19th, starting at 9:00 p.m. in Spain. From that moment on, the ball will start rolling at the Santiago Bernabéu.
The second Champions League playoff match between Real Madrid and Manchester City will be played at Carlo Ancelotti’s team’s home ground. Specifically, the Santiago Bernabéu stadium, with a capacity for 78,297 spectators, will be the venue chosen for this match.
This crucial duel will be refereed by the Romanian Istvan Kovacs, while Dennis Higler of the Netherlands will be in charge of VAR. This is a referee who already knows what it is like to whistle a duel between the two teams. The first time Kovács refereed Real Madrid was at the Etihad, in the first leg of the semifinals of the 21/22 season. Guardiola’s side won 4-3, but Real Madrid ended up taking the tie with a comeback at the Bernabéu. The most recent match in which he refereed the Whites was this very season. The thrashing of Dortmund, with the Whites winning 5-2.
