The Champions League has finally returned after what seems like an eternity. The first leg ended with Manchester City as victors with a score of 2-1. Certain things have changed since then though. Both teams have ended their respective leagues. Manchester City ended up 2nd in the Premier League with Kevin De Bruyne tallying a staggering 20 assists. Real Madrid however, went on to win the La Liga with Barcelona as a close second. Despite the uphill challenge, they must be in high spirits this time.
