Manchester City is gearing up for a Champions League rematch with Inter Milan as the 2023 champions prepare to face tougher competition in the expanded tournament.

Inter will return to the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday as City embarks on their first experience in the revamped competition format. Now featuring 36 teams in a single table, each club plays eight matches instead of the previous six-game group stage.

City's title defence last season ended in disappointment, as Real Madrid ousted them in a quarter-final penalty shoot-out. However, that loss was softened by the cherished memory of their triumph over Inter.

It will be intriguing to watch how Guardiola navigates the pursuit of another European title and a fifth consecutive Premier League crown, all while the club faces potential upheaval due to ongoing financial breach allegations.

An independent commission began hearings on Monday regarding 115 Premier League charges of alleged financial misconduct against Manchester City.

While City vehemently deny any wrongdoing, they could face significant consequences, including a points deduction or even expulsion from the league, if found guilty. A final verdict is expected in 2025.

The standout clash of Matchday 2 in the 2024 UEFA Champions League will undoubtedly be a rematch of the 2022/23 final, with Manchester City taking on Inter Milan on September 19. Pep Guardiola's side has made an impressive start to the season, winning all four of their Premier League games. Erling Haaland is in top form ahead of the fixture and could break Cristiano Ronaldo's record for the fastest player to score 100 goals for a club if he scores against the Italian side.
