Real Madrid vs Manchester City preview: Prediction, date, kick-off times, venue, how to watch Champions League match on DAZN
It's the final Champions League round of 2025 as the competition heads into Matchday 6 of this season's competition with another set of mouth-watering fixtures.
Arguably, the most glamorous of the ties comes from the Bernabeu as Real Madrid and Manchester City resume what's becoming quite the rivalry in recent seasons.
This may have less jeopardy than a knockout tie, but it's always a massive occasion when these two giants meet and there's still a top-eight place for both to lock down before the end of the league phase in January.
A much-changed City side was surprisingly beaten by Bayern Leverkusen last time out, giving Pep Guardiola's side a first defeat in this year's competition.
If they are to bounce back, they'll need to do it at the home of the sixteen-time European champions, who got over their loss to Liverpool on Matchday 4 by just about beating Olympiakos two weeks ago.
DAZN News has all the information ahead of Real Madrid vs Manchester City.

Real Madrid vs Manchester City - the key men
Kylian Mbappe - Real Madrid
With four goals in the last round, Mbappe is as hot as he's ever been right now and is currently the competition's leading scorer.
Those nine goals are part of a tally that has already seen the Frenchman hit the twenty-goal barrier this season, and it's not even Christmas.
There's no shock he'll be the man to stop, but it's a job that seems almost impossible right now.
Erling Haaland - Manchester City
City, of course, have their own goal machine in Erling Haaland, who continues to break records at a ridiculous rate.
This past week became the player to hit 100 Premier League goals in the least amount of games - 111 for the record - and he's been almost as deadly in the Champions League, too.
Five of his twenty goals this season have come in the competition.

Real Madrid vs Manchester City prediction
Manchester City's erratic form makes this one hard to predict, but it's hard not to see Real Madrid not scoring in this one. With the way City have been leaking goals and their troubles away from home, it all points to a win for the Spanish side.
Prediction: Real Madrid 3-1 Manchester City
