This was more of a maybe than a definitely from Manchester City. In what was their biggest game of the season so far - before an even bigger game as they host Arsenal in the Premier League – they drew a blank.

Arsenal has its own injury problems ahead of the game after captain Martin Odegaard was ruled out with ankle ligament damage. Without De Bruyne, City failed to find a breakthrough against Inter and was shut out at home in the Champions League for the first time since a 0-0 draw with Sporting Lisbon in March 2022.
