It was almost five months since we last heard the Champions League anthem before a football match.

But tonight it's time again, when two of the four remaining round of 16 finals will be played. One of the matches is the Manchester City-Real Madrid meeting. City won the first match, which was played in the Spanish capital on February 26, 2-1.

Despite this, City's manager Pep Guardiola feels a great deal of uncertainty ahead of tonight's settlement in England. The reason: Real coach Zinedine Zidane's tactical ability.

- It's hard to know with him. When you think you have managed to figure out one of his plans, he surprises you with another, he says, according to the British BBC, and continues:

- We have watched all their matches since the corona stop and talked about how we think they will handle the match. We have talked about how we can disrupt them and that is what we have focused on in our match preparations.

Guardiola is aware that a top effort will be required if City are to reach the quarter-finals.

- If you make mistakes in this competition, you will be severely punished. We know about that and have talked about it a lot, he says.

Real coach Zinedine Zidane is aware that it is a tough starting position for his team.

- We enter the match at a disadvantage, we are aware of that. But tomorrow it's a new match and it's not over before the referee blows off. We are aware of the situation and we know what we need to do on the pitch to achieve a good result, he said at a press conference on Thursday, and continued:

- We will see a fantastic match.

The second match tonight is played between Lyon and Juventus. Lyon won the home game 1-0.
