Real Madrid will face either Manchester City or Celtic Glasgow in the next round of the Champions League (Round of 32), with the draw taking place this Friday at noon CET. If Los Blancos advance to the Round of 16, they will play against Atletico de Madrid or Bayer Leverkusen.

Manchester City and Real Madrid have met numerous times in recent editions of the Champions League, and while Los Blancos have a solid record against Guardiola’s team, they should want to draw Celtic this early in the competition.

Avoiding Manchester City would give Ancelotti the option to at least make some small rotations and adjustments in order to remain very competitive in La Liga, even though Celtic will also be a tough team to beat.

Madrid’s road towards defending the European title they conquered last season will be decided this Friday, so madridistas around the world will surely be paying close attention to UEFA’s draw.
