Real Madrid and Manchester City have met nine times in four head-to-head matches. The teams have met three times in the semi-finals, and once only in the knockout stages.

The first meeting between both teams in the maximum continental tournament took place on Spanish soil in a group stage. The return and first visit of Real Madrid to the Etihad, in November 2012, was the occasion in which he was closest to victory in Manchester territory. Real Madrid never emerge victorious in their visits, where they were already eliminated on one occasion and were defeated on the last two occasions.
