Manchester City will play the second leg of their Champions League round-of-16 tie against Real Madrid at the Etihad after UEFA cleared the game to take place in England, the governing body confirmed on Thursday.
UEFA had been concerned about the viability of playing round-of-16 games in different countries, before the winners of the ties then have to fly into Portugal for the knockout rounds, amid the coronavirus pandemic.
But the clubs who were due to be at home -- City, Bayern Munich (vs. Chelsea), Juventus (vs. Lyon) and Barcelona (vs. Napoli) -- insisted they should be able to play on their own grounds if at all possible having already played the first leg away from home.
