The second part of the first day of the Champions League will be marked by the match between Manchester City and Inter Milan tonight from 9:00 p.m. Yann Sommer, in the Italian goal, will have to be careful.

Inter’s Swiss goalkeeper will notably face the “monster” Erling Haaland, who has scored a whopping nine goals in four games since the start of the Premier League season. Silencing the Norwegian striker will be the Nerazzurri’s number one mission, but it will also be a question of ensuring that passes do not reach him.

This match is a “remake” of the 2023 final, which the English won 1-0 thanks to a goal from Rodri. For their part, the Italians are not yet at full speed, with two wins and two draws in Serie A. And above all, performances accompanied by a certain skepticism.

Unlucky finalist of the last edition, Borussia Dortmund begins its journey with a trip to the pitch of Club Bruges. Gregor Kobel and his colleagues seem to have the means to return from Belgium with the three points.

Now orphaned by Mbappé, Saint-Germain begins its journey by hosting the Spanish side Girona, for the first time at this level of the competition. PSG is off to a good start in Ligue 1 with four wins in as many matches, but Europe represents a different challenge.

Bologna, with its Swiss trio Remo Freuler – Michel Aebischer – Dan Ndoye, will also debut in C1. The Italians will host Shakhtar Donetsk.
