Manchester City travel to Germany for a difficult round-of-16 tie against RB Leipzig in the Champions League first leg. The Wednesday night contest will be in favour of the English champions due to their squad quality and recent performances in this competition. However, Leipzig are no pushovers. They also have a very good squad and are a difficult team to play at their own home. Hence, it will be interesting to see which team makes the most of their chances at Red Bull Arena.

For Manchester City, this is one trophy that has escaped their reach in all these years. They have come so close yet fallen short in their quest for this crown. Man City have had some painful exits in this competition by suffering heart-breaking defeats in recent past. Hence, they would hope to put it behind them and go one step further this time around. Simultaneously, they will also be eager for revenge after losing their last visit to this stadium in the group stage of last season’s competition.

On the other hand, RB Leipzig’s participation in the knockout round seemed to be in doubt for a while, but the German side splendidly overcame their early struggles to finish second in Group F. In their domestic league too, they are not far away from the top. RB Leipzig are placed fifth in Bundesliga with 39 points from 21 games. They are only four points behind leaders Bayern Munich. Meanwhile, Manchester City are second in the Premier League table with 52 points from 24 matches. They are two points shy of leaders Arsenal but have played a game more than the London outfit.
