FULL LIST: Real Madrid face Man City, Bayern play Celtic in UCL play-offs

Real Madrid have been drawn against Manchester City for the 2024/25 UEFA Champions League (UCL) play-off round. 

The past two winners of the UCL were pitched against each other at the draw held on Friday at the House of European Football in Nyon, Switzerland.

The UCL play-off round is for teams that finished outside the top eight in the new league format and failed to secure automatic qualification for the second round.

While the teams in the bottom eight were eliminated, the clubs that finished between ninth and 24th place were paired against each other for the play-off.

The winners from the play-offs will progress into the round of 16 of the competition.

Real Madrid placed 11th in the preliminary stage, just one point below the automatic qualification spot. Man City, on the other hand, sneaked into the play-off spot after winning the final match of the league stage against Club Brugge.

The two teams will face off for the third consecutive season across several rounds of the competition.

In other match-ups in the play-offs, Bayern Munich will play Celtic while Atalanta will face Club Brugge.

Paris Saint-German will take on Brestois FC, Juventus get PSV, and AC Milan will play Feyernood.

The first legs of the play-offs hold on February 11, and the return legs are scheduled for a week later.
