Manchester City take on Paris Saint-Germain this evening on matchday two of the league phase of the Champions League. Enzo Maresca’s side are undefeated so far this term, in what has been a perfect start to the Italian’s tenure at the Etihad Stadium. He took over the reins from his former boss Pep Guardiola, who over the summer stepped down after ten years of service, including 20 trophies.
The Spaniard will be back tonight, but only in a spectating capacity, with one of the Etihad’s stands named after the club’s former manager. City play at home for the first time since an independent commission ruled a guilty verdict on 114 of their 115 charges for financial breaches, although an appeal process is in motion as the club pleads its innocence.
They take on a Paris side that has won this competition twice in a row, defeating Arsenal last season on penalties after a tense 1-1 draw in Budapest. The Ligue 1 outfit are sixth in France’s top flight after a stuttering start to the campaign, but the European stage is where they often do their best work.
