European football returns to our screens once again on Saturday evening.
Manchester City and Lyon will go head-to-head in the final Champions League last-8 tie of the campaign.
You can find out how to watch the clash here, or check out 101’s betting tips here.
The winner of tonight’s matchup will face off with German powerhouse Bayern Munich in the competition’s semi-finals, after Hansi Flick’s side completely demolished Barcelona by eight goals to two in their quarter-final meeting on Friday evening.
Should Man City make it past Lyon, and then Bayern, one would assume that they will be viewed as favourites to lift the Champions League, as the other half of the draw, containing RB Leipzig and PSG, is considerably weaker.

However, before even thinking about Bayern, Man City need to see off Lyon.
On paper at least, Lyon shouldn’t pose too much of a threat to the Sky Blues.
The French outfit finished 7th in Ligue 1 this term, and only managed to advance beyond Juventus in the last-16 thanks to away goals, following a 2-1 second-leg defeat.
Nevertheless, Man City should not take Lyon lightly, with the Citizens actually yet to beat the French outfit in a competitive tie – Two Champions League group stage meetings between the clubs in 2018 ended in a draw and a Lyon win.
Ex-City defender Pablo Zabaleta has also recently been speaking about the Sky Blues’ upcoming Champions League clash.
And though the Argentine is surprised that Lyon have made it this far in the competition, Zabaleta also voiced the opinion that Rudi Garcia’s men will prove a threat, due to the lack of pressure on the French outfit:
“If I’m honest, I am really surprised that Lyon got to this stage of the Champions League
“I don’t think anyone expected them to beat Juventus, but you never know in the Champions League and the fact is they deserved to beat them over the two legs.
“They have a young team and though they didn’t do very well in Ligue 1 this year, they will be a threat because this is a sort of free hit for them – they can really go for broke because nobody thought they’d get this far.”
