Manchester City will kick off their Champions League campaign with a home match against Inter Milan, promising an exciting contest at the Etihad Stadium. Pep Guardiola aims to secure early qualification for the knockout stages, with challenging fixtures against Juventus and Paris Saint-Germain still to come.
City were knocked out in the quarter-finals last season after a penalty shootout loss to Real Madrid, and as the 2023 champions, they will look to go further in this revamped tournament. The team faces eight group-stage matches, aiming to finish in the top eight to secure automatic qualification for the next round.
Having defeated Inter 1-0 in the 2023 final, City are favorites to advance. However, Inter Milan, currently unbeaten in Serie A with two wins and two draws, are in strong form and pose a legitimate challenge to City.
