In a highly anticipated Champions League encounter, Manchester City and Inter Milan played to a goalless 0-0 draw at the Etihad Stadium. Inter's Hakan Calhanoglu expressed satisfaction with the result, noting their solid performance against a formidable opponent, despite missing key chances. Kevin De Bruyne's injury early in the second half hampered City's efforts, which included a late header from Ilkay Gundogan that was saved by Inter's goalkeeper Yann Sommer. This match marked the first meeting since City's victory in the 2023 final, and both teams left with a point as they aim to progress in the tournament. The evening was characterized by a surprising lack of goals across the Champions League, with multiple matches ending in draws. Overall, the competition's first week saw a total of only 13 goals scored in six games, highlighting a stark contrast to the previous season's scoring averages.
