Manchester City will play Real Madrid in the Champions League for the fifth successive season after the two clubs were drawn to play each other in the league phase.

The match will be played at the Bernabeu and won't feature an Etihad return as one of eight fixtures for City in the league phase as they attempt to qualify for the knockouts.
