With Erling Haaland on the hunt for his historic 100th goal in a City jersey, the pressure is on for both teams to bring their A-game. City’s boss Pep Guardiola has opted for a strong lineup featuring star players ready to dazzle the fans both at home and watching live across the globe. Expect an atmosphere in the Etihad packed with anticipation and maybe a sprinkle of that infamous British rain!

Meanwhile, on the other side of Europe, PSG is set to clash with Girona, adding another layer of excitement to the night. It seems the Champions League isn’t just about legendary clubs, but also about rising underdogs making their mark.

Meanwhile, Bayern Munich celebrated a goal-fest with their staggering 9-2 win over Dinamo Zagreb, showcasing their goal-scoring prowess early in this season.
