Manchester City and Inter Milan played to a 0-0 draw in their Champions League opener, a rematch of the 2023 final. The match was characterized by solid defending from Inter Milan and missed opportunities from City, including several close chances by Erling Haaland. This draw contributed to an unusually low-scoring night in the competition, with only 13 goals across six matches, contrasting sharply with the previous day's 28 goals. Other notable matches included Paris Saint-Germain's late 1-0 win over Girona, Borussia Dortmund's 3-0 victory over Club Brugge, and Celtic's dominant 5-1 win against Slovan Bratislava. The new league phase of the Champions League has introduced new teams and marked the return of long-absent clubs, making for an exciting yet unpredictable start.
