Man City Champions League opponents: Possible fixtures in last 16

1/17
Alex Young @alexwsyoung16 December 2019

Manchester City strolled into the Champions League knockout stages with a 4-1 win over Dinamo Zagreb last week.

Gabriel Jesus's 20-minute hat-trick saw City complete the group stage unbeaten for the first time, cancelling out Dani Olmo's stunning opener to triumph in Croatia.

The Brazilian first headed home Riyad Mahrez's cross for the equaliser before exchanging passes with Phil Foden and cutting inside to curl a shot into the far corner.

Jesus sealed the treble by stretching to volley in a left-wing cross from Benjamin Mendy, adding to his hat-trick againt Shakhtar Donetsk from last season.

Foden then capped the win with a goal of his own.

City finished Group C as winners, earning 14 points from a possible 18 and, therefore, securing a seeding for the last-16 stage ahead of Monday's draw.

It means Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid, Napoli, Borussia Dortmund and Lyon are possible opponents for Man City in Europe.

City have met Real Madrid, Lyon and Borussia Dortmund before in the competition and never won. They beat Napoli home and away two seasons ago. They have never faced Atletico Madrid.
