Real Madrid: Real Madrid have asked UEFA administration for permission to play Manchester City under a closed roof at the Santiago Bernabeu for Tuesday's Champions League quarterfinal first-leg tie against the Premier League side, said a report.

According to ESPN, Madrid have made the request to UEFA, and the decision on whether to play with a closed or opened roof will be taken at a routine pre-match technical meeting on Tuesday.

The final decision will be made by UEFA in conjunction with match referee Francois Letexier, with the provision that the game must end under the same conditions as it started, unless severe weather forces the roof to be either opened or closed.
