“We’re built to play in the Champions League,” Enrique says as PSG visits Man City.

Manchester City vs. Paris Saint-Germain kicks off at 20:00 [GMT+1] on Wednesday, October 14, at the Etihad. City’s European consistency remains impressive. This is their 16th consecutive Champions League campaign, and they have reached the knockout stages in each of the last 12 seasons. They finished eighth in last season's league phase with five wins, one draw, and two defeats but were eliminated by Real Madrid in the round of 16 for the third successive season. City opened this UCL campaign with a 2-0 away victory against Porto, Haaland scoring both goals, leaving the Norwegian with 59 goals in 59 Champions League appearances. The Sky Blues are now gearing up for a familiar contest with PSG, whom they have met eight times, with City recording four victories against Paris' two. However, the French side won the most recent encounter, producing a remarkable comeback from two goals down to triumph 4-2 at the Parc des Princes on Matchday 7 last season. Meanwhile, City are unbeaten in four home meetings with Paris, winning three and drawing one, including each of the last three encounters. Their broader record against French opposition stands at five wins, one draw, and two defeats in their last eight matches, although they have won only once in their last four. Their home record remains formidable also, with just one defeat in their last 25 group stage or league phase matches, alongside 21 victories and three draws. Enzo Maresca is expected to leave Erling Haaland at the attacking end of City’s 4—2—3—1 once again. Should the Norwegian be on target, he would exceed Sergio Agüero’s record of Champions League 36 goals.

The reigning champions began this campaign with a commanding 6-1 home victory against Slovan Bratislava, extending their unbeaten European run to 12 matches. They have failed to score in only one of their last 26 UEFA competition fixtures. They arrive with an outstanding record against English opposition, having gone unbeaten in their last 11 matches, winning eight and drawing three. Meanwhile, Luis Enrique, who recently extended his contract with the club, is looking forward to the challenge. “We’re built to play in the Champions League. We have an extra incentive: to try and achieve something that only Real Madrid have managed to do so far. It’s a special goal. We’re going to face Manchester City away and Barcelona at home. These are two teams who love winning the Champions League, who have already won it, and who are among the favorites," he said ahead of the game. Enrique is expected to deploy a 4—3—3 formation with Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Dembele, and Désiré Doué in attack against Manchester City. Senny Mayulu is PSG’s only injury worry.
