It’s the break
The first half ends here in Turin. No goal and a very tactical match, which could have turned on an action by Haaland, but Di Gregorio decided otherwise. See you in 15 minutes.
40′
WHAT A RESCUE!
Di Gregorio has just saved Juventus! On a superb ball from De Bruyne, Haaland attempts a lob, but the Juve goalkeeper makes a superb save. The counter offers the Italians a small opportunity in the process, but not of the same quality. What an opportunity for City!
37′
Haaland!
First opportunity for Haaland! The Norwegian inherits the ball at the near post, with a little success, but he does nothing with it.
34′
Oops
Koopmeiners unintentionally clashes with the referee. Turpin holds his back, but that and the ball is calmly replayed. It can happen.
31′
Star !
Yildiz is well on his feet and pulls off a nice solo number on the left, but he fails to create an opportunity at the end of his action.
30′
It’s imprecise
On both sides, we have ideas, but they lack effectiveness. Vlahovic, for example, is surprised on a pass and completely bites his cross back.
23′
Little English replica
Manchester City manages to accelerate a little more often in front, but Doku, Haaland and ‘KDB’ lack a little success in their actions so far. But the match picks up the pace a little.
20′
First strike
Yildiz is the first to strike! The young Juve player finds a shooting angle on the left side of the area and sends a good cross shot, which narrowly misses Ederson’s right post.
17′
Still nothing
We continue to wait for the first opportunity to meet. Kevin De Bruyne has tried to find teammates a few times, but it has been unclear so far.
12′
Everyone looks at each other
On both sides, we observe each other, we limit risk-taking. Note the complicated start to the match from Rico Lewis, author of some errors of judgment in defense.
7′
First attempt
Vlahovic goes deep, tries to cross his delivery but the ball is blocked. Finally, the referee changed his mind and signaled an offside.
4′
City takes the ball
Manchester City gets their foot on the ball, it’s no surprise. The English like to control the game, it’s usual for them.
0′
Here we go!
Come on, we’re ready! The meeting is getting underway and we are all hoping to witness a real demonstration of football.
20h51
The match is approaching
It’s almost the big moment. The players are ready, the fans too. Time for action!
20h40
Juventus patinas
The Italians have struggled to convince since the start of the league phase, especially on the offensive level with only 5 small goals so far (compared to 7 at City, who are not doing much better). This will undoubtedly be where the match will be played: offensive efficiency, which both teams lack.
20h25
An update on the situation
Both teams need points to have any chance of continuing their adventure in the Champions League. City are only 20th, with 2 small victories in five games. Juventus is 22nd and both teams have 8 points on the clock. The last qualifier for the play-offs (PSG) has 7 points. The top 8 is closed by Bayern which has 12 units.

Everything you need to know about this match
We take stock of the big issues, the Belgian stars present and the context of the meeting with Kevin Mirallas!
19h59
The Italian composition
Juventus also revealed their composition. Motta opted for a return of Yildiz, but for the rest, the composition does not contain any big surprises. Note the presence of Samuel Mbangula on the bench.
19h46
Two titular Red Devils
Kevin De Bruyne and Jérémy Doku start at Manchester City. The English opt for a very offensive team, also with Haaland, Grealish, Gündogan, Bernardo Silva and the inevitable Erling Haaland. The composition does not contain any real surprises, apart from the presence of Foden on the bench.
7:30 p.m.
Good evening everyone !
Good evening everyone ! Welcome to this live to experience together the clash of the evening, between Manchester City and Juventus!
Crumb and weakened in the Premier League, Manchester City and Pep Guardiola drag out their melancholy before going to challenge Juventus, Wednesday in Turin, in a Champions League where they have already dropped too many points.
The English giant is showing a little demeanor after having won only one of their last nine matches, in all competitions. And his Spanish trainer is struggling to find the miracle cure. “I have said several times in recent days that we are not in a position, given the results obtained in the last seven or eight matches, to speak of victories in the plural. We have to win and see what happens during the next match”summed up Guardiola in front of the press, Tuesday in Turin.
The weight of the injured seems to weigh heavily on the shoulders of the Spaniard, whose club is fourth in the Premier League, eight lengths behind the leader, Liverpool, who have played a match less.
