Manchester City are looking to make amends in the Champions League this season.
Since European glory crowned a historic treble for the club in 2022–23, City haven’t been beyond the last eight of the Champions League.
Last season, Pep Guardiola’s team struggled through the inaugural league phase, only managing to win three of their eight games and scraping into the knockouts with a 22nd place finish. Unseeded in the knockout play-off round, they were subsequently dumped out by perennial foe Real Madrid.
But 2025–26 is a fresh start for a new look City squad and the European goal begins again with eight opponents to navigate in this opening round.
