Champions League knock-out rules: Away goals, two legs and quarter-final draw

manchestereveningnews.co.uk

Manchester City return to UEFA Champions League action tonight when Pep Guardiola's side face RB Leipzig at the Red Bull Arena in the first leg of their last 16 tie.

Off the back of a disappointing 1-1 draw against Nottingham Forest, a result which set them back in the Premier League title race, City will be looking to respond by taking one step closer towards winning the only trophy that has painstakingly evaded them during Guardiola's reign.

Progressing past the German outfit, however, will prove no easy feat. Under former Borussia Dortmund boss Marco Rose, Leipzig eased out of Group F, finishing well clear of Celtic and Shakhtar Donetsk and just one point behind winners Real Madrid.
