Man City facing Champions League group stage elimination again unless it beats Real Madrid
MANCHESTER, England – For the second successive season, Manchester City faces elimination at the Champions League group stage unless players who have failed to live up to their price tags can find a way to beat Real Madrid.

Real star Cristiano Ronaldo will be playing in Manchester for the first time since leaving United in 2009.
