Manchester City will face French outfit Monaco in the Champions League on Wednesday with Pep Guardiola’s side looking to continue their strong run of form
Manchester City will face French side Monaco in the Champions League on Wednesday. Pep Guardiola’s side are looking back to their best after some poor results at the start of the season.
City, who won the European Cup for the first time in 2023, made a winning start to their Champions League campaign, beating Napoli 2-0 on Kevin De Bruyne’s return to the Etihad Stadium. Goals from Erling Haaland and Jeremy Doku saw off the Italian champions.
Since losing to Tottenham Hotspur and Brighton, City have bounced back with a win over Manchester United, a solid 1-1 draw away to Arsenal and a 5-1 thrashing of Burnley last weekend. They will now face a Monaco side featuring ex-Premier League stars Paul Pogba and Eric Dier.
While Adi Hutter’s men were humiliated 4-1 by Club Brugge in their opening Champions League fixture, City are facing the side that overpowered them in this competition in 2017 in the last-16. City failed to make their 5-3 first leg win count as they were defeated 3-1 at the Stade Louis II eight years ago.
When is Monaco vs Manchester City?
Monaco vs Man City is set for an 8pm kick off on Wednesday, October 1. The match will take place at Stade Louis II, Monaco.
