THE BIGGER PICTURE
Aside from watches, these two European heavyweights played out a gripping and high-quality clash in the first leg of their last eight Champions League tie. City are seeking to defend their title, where they beat Los Blancos in the semi-finals last season, whereas the La Liga outfit are looking to make it a record-extending 15 Champions League trophies this term.

This watch has reportedly broken the world record for the lightest mechanical watch ever made, weighing in at 18.83 grams. Mille called the invention a "triumph of engineering and technology" and one of the most "innovative architectural constructions" of recent years.
