Champions League draw: Manchester City faces Real Madrid in …

(CNN) The Champions League round of 16 draw has thrown up some mouth-watering ties — or, if you’re the Spanish media, one particularly “morbid clash.”

Manchester City’s tie against Real Madrid is arguably the most enthralling matchup and once again pits coach Pep Guardiola against his bitter rival.

Given the bad blood between Guardiola and Real Madrid from his at Barcelona, Spanish newspaper Marca says the tie will appeal to those with a morbid curiosity; you know there will be ugly scenes, but you can’t help but watch.

“The draw was difficult for Zinedine Zidane’s team, which will have to face Guardiola’s City with the second leg on English soil.

A morbid clash that will once again take Pep to the Bernabeu,” wrote Marca.
