Meeting Highlights…CHAMPIONS LEAGUE DRAW
When people say draws are easy, you undermine the other opponent but it's not necessary to say what Real Madrid are in this competition. When you play the latter stages you play against the best teams in Europe and Real Madrid are totally there. But all the opponents are really tough, everybody knows it. We were excited before the draw because it's a privilege every time we are here. It is a special competition.
…ABOUT MATCH
Since the takeover, there have always been tight games. From now on, until the end of the season, we need at every home game the support of our fans like we had against Man. United. I can't remember an environment like that for a long time and we need that tomorrow.
…INJURY REPORT
Stefan Ortega will start in goal with Ederson hopefully back after the international break. Kevin De Bruyne will miss the game with Newcastle and won't play for Belgium during the international break which will help him recover for the last part of the season Jack Grealish is getting better and will be part of the squad for the Newcastle game.

Eddie Howe
Manager on Newcastle United…INJURY REPORT
Harvey Barnes will not be in the squad for Saturday's match, but Anthony Gordon didn't do anything serious to his knee against Chelsea and a decision will be made on his availability after Friday's training.
…AGAINST CITY
Not the draw we wanted. We've had a chance to get our head around it and we will have a right go, attack it and try and progress to the next round. We can do it and I have no doubt about that. We need to be at our best level and maybe a bit of luck along the way too but we will give it our very best. Our games have been tight against them this year, I don't think we have been too far away and in those games we might not have had the luck we needed and that is what we are after this time.
…FINAL
Right from minute one in the FA Cup that was the aim to try and progress and get back to Wembley. We've done everything we can in difficult games, the draws haven't been kind to us and we are delighted to get to the quarter-final. We don't want to waste this opportunity so will do everything to get back to Wembley.
