Manchester City's Champions League last-16 second leg tie with Real Madrid 'set for August 7'... nearly SIX MONTHS after Pep Guardiola's side won at the Bernabeu

Manchester City’s Champions League second leg with Real Madrid is due to take place on August 7 after the coronavirus saw its original date postponed.

The rearranged date will see Los Blancos with almost three months of training behind them as Zinedine Zidane's men will have played their 11 remaining LaLiga fixtures by the end of July.

Real Madrid trail Pep Guardiola's side 2-1 after the first-leg in Madrid on February 26 but the 13-times winners will provide tough opposition 174 days on from their first meet.
