Summary
  • Man City welcome Galatasaray at the Etihad Stadium for mid-week UCL fixture

  • Cityzens must win this game to earn automatic qualification for the round of 16

  • This will be the first-ever meeting between Manchester City and Galatasaray SK

English Premier League giants Manchester City will be in a do-or-die situation when they take on Turkey's Galatasaray in their final league phase match of the UEFA Champions League 2025-26 season.

The Cityzens must win this game in order to avoid going to the play-offs along with 15 other teams in the competition. For that, Pep Guardiola's men have to beat their Turkish opponents, that too, by a heavy margin.

All of the teams above them - Sporting CP, Barcelona, Chelsea, Newcastle and PSG - have the same amount of points as City (13), but are ahead due to better goal differences.

Manchester City could have been on the safer side had they beaten Norwegian side Bodo Glimt in their previous Champions League outing, but the Sky Blues ended up being thrashed 3-1 away despite having a full-strength playing XI.

They did have a positive result in their last Premier League appearance, beating Wolves 2-0 at home, but Galatasaray have two of their former players - Ilkay Gundogan and Leroy Sane, who will try to exploit this brand new City side which signed Antoine Semenyo and Marc Guehi earlier this month.

Man City and Galatasaray have never met each other at any stage of the UEFA Champions League and this will be just first meeting.
