Preamble

Manchester City are venturing into this new Champions League group with 36 clubs. The 2023 winners will face the team they beat to ultimately claim the European title, so take some time before the game to reminisce. Then it’s down to business, with City flying: Community Shield already in the bag, four Premier League wins from four, nine goals already from Erling Haaland. By comparison, the Italian champions aren’t in such good form, with two wins and two draws to open their defence of Serie A, but Inter kept City on their toes in Istanbul last year and they’ll no doubt do so again tonight. Kick-off is at 20:00 (BST). It has started!
