The two teams were drawn against one another on Monday, meaning Pep Guardiola’s team will play the German club in the new year. With two games remaining, the Blues won their group and advanced to the knockout stages. Leipzig placed second in their group, just behind Real Madrid.
The first leg of the match will take place at the Red Bull Arena on February 22, and the second leg will take place at the Etihad Stadium on March 14.
Leipzig’s English Twitter account published a The Simpsons meme following the drawing. The caption for the picture was, “I’m in danger.”
The Blues escaped a matchup with Paris Saint-Germain and also skipped a matchup with AC Milan, the reigning Italian champions. In the group stage of the previous campaign, City faced Leipzig, and the two teams squared off in an exciting 6-3 match at the Etihad. After Kyle Walker was dismissed in the previous match, the German team prevailed 2-1.
It will be more challenging to reschedule the Blues’ two postponed Premier League games because Tottenham’s games against Milan are not planned to take place the same week as City’s contests against Leipzig. The match between Guardiola’s team and Spurs was scheduled to take place in September but was postponed following the passing of the Queen.
If City wins the FA Cup, Carabao Cup, and advances further in the Champions League, there don’t appear to be any more open midweek timeslots to play the two unfinished games. City’s away game at Arsenal was also postponed.
