Real Madrid vs Manchester City: Head-to-head record

Both teams have always gone toe-to-toe when facing each other in the Champions League.
Real Madrid vs. Manchester City – the contest that hadn’t previously been played prior to 2012 is now a thrilling possibility any time the two teams are drawn against one another in the Champions League.
Real Madrid have won the most coveted club trophy in Europe a record-breaking 15 times, whereas the Citizens have only won once. They are two of the world’s top clubs while being at very different points in history.
Since their initial encounter more than 12 years ago, City and Real have had numerous run-ins, frequently with a spot in the Champions League final at stake.
Real Madrid will try to defeat Manchester City in the first leg of their Champions League play-offs game and will hope to secure a place in the last 16.
However, Man City will be favourites to prevail in this game as the Los Blancos are set to be without plenty of their first-team players in the defence. This will be a key advantage for the home side to exploit their visitors and set a big margin of score line for the second leg.
Both teams last met each other in the 2023-24 season. Real Madrid beat the Premier League side on penalties in the second leg and went on to win the trophy.
12 Champions League encounters between these two teams resulted in three victories for the Spanish club, four wins for City and three draws. Below are their head-to-head record.
