City PSG preview: European champions visit the Etihad
PSG arrive as back-to-back Champions League winners, having won the competition in 2025 and 2026. Luis Enrique’s side provide a major early test in City’s league-phase campaign.
City return home after Sunday’s 3-0 win at Liverpool. Erling Haaland, Jeremy Doku and Rayan Cherki scored in the second half at Anfield.
The clubs’ previous Champions League meeting finished 4-2 to PSG in the 2024/25 league phase. City had led 2-0 before the French side recovered. That result offers context for the City PSG preview, but it does not determine how this meeting will unfold.
PSG name their travelling group
Ousmane Dembele, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Desire Doue are among the attacking players named in PSG’s squad for Manchester. Vitinha, Fabian Ruiz and Joao Neves are also included in the City PSG preview squad list.
Defenders Achraf Hakimi, Marquinhos, Willian Pacho and Nuno Mendes feature in the travelling group, alongside goalkeepers Lucas Chevalier and Matvey Safonov.
The announcement confirms those players are in the selected group. Luis Enrique’s starting XI will only be known when the official team sheet is released.
