0 between Manchester City and Inter

Champions League 24-25

game board

The outstanding actor


Jan Sommer, score: 8
The goalkeeper was undoubtedly the man of the match with some important saves, the point is credited to him

The disappointing player


Erling Holland, score: 4
City’s formidable striker was completely silenced by the Italian defense and hardly got into situations

In recent years, when they say scoring goals at the highest levels of football, they say Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City. This was not the case yesterday (Wednesday) when the champions of England only opened the champions with a 0:0 with Inter in the replay of the final from the 2022/23 season.

This is the first time that the Citizens start the season in a factory with a home game without conquest since it was defined as the Champions League, when it has never done so as part of the group stage and now it is happening to them for the first time in the first attempt in the new format.

Pep Guardiola’s side dominated the game from the start, but did not look at their best much thanks to a wonderful defensive display from the Italian champions and a great performance from goalkeeper Jan Sommer in particular.

The Blues did not manage to score, but they had opportunities, especially in the second half when Phil Foden was pushed by Sommer from the center of the area, Gabardiol with a tremendous kick outside it and especially Ilkay Gundogan, whose shot from a few meters was also stopped by the goalkeeper in the final minutes, just before he missed again with a shot in extra time .

The Nerazzurri can be satisfied when they took out an expensive away point at the Etihad, which not many teams can say they have done on the biggest stage in Europe. City, who have gone perfect in four league games, look ahead to the huge game against Arsenal in the Premier League with worry in their hearts after Kevin De Bruyne was substituted at the break in this clash with an injury after a clash with Sommer.
