Manchester City vs Real Madrid

Here we go again.

Real Madrid v Manchester City in a Champions League knockout match. It is becoming a classic rivalry of our times.

This time, rather than being in the latter stages, both sides are fighting for their lives to merely make the last 16.

So how did two of Europe's most successful sides in recent seasons fail to make the top eight and end up in a play-off?
