Champions League: Real Madrid and Man City go again, PSG hosts Chelsea

Real Madrid and Manchester City go at it again in the Champions League on
Wednesday.
For the fifth season in a row, the rivals have been drawn against each other in
European club soccer's biggest competition.
By the end of the round of 16 they will have played each other three time this
season after meeting in the league phase.
City won 2-1 on that occasion but goes into the latest encounter knowing it has
been eliminated by Madrid in each of the last two seasons.
Madrid is missing big names with Kylian Mbappe, Jude Bellingham and Rodrygo all
out for the 15-time champion.
Defending champion Paris Saint-Germain hosts Chelsea, the Club World Cup winner.
Chelsea was crowned world champion after victory against PSG in the final last
year - and this is a rematch between the giants.
In other games, Arsenal travels to Bayer Leverkusen and Bodo/Glimt hosts
Sporting Lisbon.
