This week is a big one in the UEFA Champions League. The cup competition is now in its sixth week, and there are matches featuring Athletic Club vs. Paris Saint-Germain, Club Brugge vs. Arsenal, and — the hottest match of the week — Real Madrid vs. Manchester City. With Madrid's Kylian Mbappé now questionable for the game with a muscle injury, that could be the opening that star forward Erling Haaland and the rest of Man City need to dominate the matchup. Haaland is riding high, having just set a Premier League record for reaching 100 goals in the shortest amount of time — if the Madrid forward sits out, Haaland could overtake Mbappé as the Champions League's high-scorer this season, too. 

Here's everything you need to know about how to watch Wednesday's Manchester City vs. Real Madrid match and the rest of the 2025-2026 UEFA Champions League season.
