One of the standout fixtures of the Champions League has already been drawn as Manchester City and Real Madrid prepare to go head to head in their opening group meeting tomorrow night.
The Premier League champions go up against Jose Mourinho's men, who are already eight points behind rivals Barcelona in La Liga following a 1-0 defeat to Sevilla last night.
Man City head into the contest after securing a 1-1 draw with Stoke City at the weekend but the North West side will be largely relying on the fitness of Sergio Aguero, who has not played since the opening day of the season due to an ankle injury.
City boss Roberto Mancini has confirmed that the Argentina international will travel with the squad to Madrid, which suggests that he will start for the league champions at the Bernabeu alongside Carlos Tevez up front.
New City signing Javi Garcia could retain his place in midfield following his goal against the Potters, while defender Maicon could make his European debut for the Manchester outfit in the back four.
Meanwhile, Mourinho has no fresh injury worries heading into the clash, which means that Cristiano Ronaldo, who has cast doubts over his future in recent weeks, is likely to start just behind Karim Benzema.
Former Tottenham Hotspur playmaker Luka Modric should also line up against the English champions alongside Mesut Ozil and Xabi Alonso, who will secure the midfield pack.
