Manchester City to begin UCL campaign against Inter.
As Manchester City prepare to rekindle their European campaign at the Etihad against Inter Milan, both teams eye a statement victory in this captivating UEFA Champions League rematch of the 2023 final.
Manchester City
One-time UEFA Champions League winners, Manchester City, will experience the competition's new format when they take on Inter in their first game of the UCL league phase. The Sky Blues arrive on the back of a 2-1 comeback victory over Brentford, with a brace from Erling Haaland, who is in scintillating form.
City hopes the Norwegian striker can translate his domestic success to European soil against Inter Milan for their second-ever competitive fixture. The two teams last met in the 2023 UCL final in Istanbul, where City clinched their first championship title with a single goal from Rodri.
This Wednesday, City aims to secure another victory over Inter at the Etihad and extend a 23-game unbeaten run in the UEFA Champions League [16 wins, 7 draws, 0 losses]. This match marks the season's biggest test yet, with a high-stakes encounter against title rivals Arsenal looming on Sunday.
Pep Guardiola is expected to field his familiar 3-4-2-1 formation, featuring Erling Haaland in attack. Savinho, who left the 2-1 win over Brentford due to a cramp, is doubtful, while Phil Foden, after returning to City's bench recently, is anticipated to play a part. Unfortunately, Nathan Aké has been ruled out of this fixture.
Inter
Inter Milan narrowly escaped defeat at the weekend when Denzel Dumfries scored a late goal in the 88th minute, securing a 1-1 draw against Monza. The result leaves Inter with two victories and two draws in Serie A [DWWD], causing them to drop one spot in the table.
Inzaghi's side will aim to bounce back quickly with Wednesday's fixture against City on the horizon. While Inter have only lost three of their last 20 UEFA Champions League matches [11W, 6D, 3L], they are keen to join the ranks of clubs that have defeated five or more English teams in the competition, with previous victories against Newcastle, Arsenal, Chelsea, and Liverpool.
Inzaghi is likely to stick with the 3-5-2 formation used at the weekend, featuring the attacking duo of Marcus Thuram and Lautaro Martínez. Hakan Çalhanoğlu and Nicolò Barella are expected to return to the starting lineup after sitting out on the bench against Monza.
