Footballer reporter John Bennett believes Real Madrid have "found form" and the chances Manchester City have been giving away recently will "be a real concern" when Pep Guardiola's side face the Spanish champions.

Real Madrid is celebrating its return to good form despite placing low in the Champions League and failing to avoid a possible playoff against Manchester City. Madrid's slow start in the European competition kept the defending champion from going straight into the round of 16 — and possibly set up an encounter with Man City in the playoffs.

Manchester City have been drawn to face Real Madrid in the Champions League playoff round, the fourth season in a row that the two clubs have met in the tournament's knockout stages.
