are two games into the Champions League league phase in 2026/27, with Enzo Maresca’s side looking to secure a place in the knockout rounds over eight matches against eight different opponents.
City have taken three points from their opening two games, beginning with a 2-0 victory away to Porto before losing 4-2 against Paris Saint-Germain at the Etihad Stadium.
This page will track City’s Champions League campaign throughout the season, with every result, their remaining league-phase fixtures and the latest player statistics.
City made a winning start in Portugal on 8 September as Erling Haaland scored twice in a 2-0 victory over Porto.
Haaland was again on target twice against PSG in City’s second match, but the visitors scored four times at the Etihad to inflict Maresca’s first European defeat as City manager.

Six league-phase matches remain, beginning with AEK Athens at the Etihad Stadium on Tuesday night.
City then travel to RB Leipzig before hosting Napoli, with a trip to Barcelona completing their European programme for 2026. The league phase concludes in January with an away game against Lens and a home meeting with Sporting CP.

Each of the 36 clubs plays eight different opponents during the league phase. The top eight qualify directly for the last 16, while the clubs finishing ninth to 24th enter the knockout phase play-offs.
Haaland has made an outstanding individual start to City’s European campaign, scoring all four of their Champions League goals.
His four goals put him joint-top of the competition’s scoring chart after the opening two rounds of matches, while seven of his attempts have been on target.

Statistics cover the Champions League league phase only and will be updated after each Man City match.
City’s dependence on Haaland for goals has been particularly striking through the opening two fixtures. He scored both at Porto and followed that with another double against PSG, meaning no other City player has yet found the net in Europe this season.
The PSG game also brought another landmark for the Norwegian. His second goal took him to 61 in 60 Champions League appearances across his spells with RB Salzburg, Borussia Dortmund and City.
Haaland has required only 60 appearances to reach that total and has already scored 38 Champions League goals for City.
There have been notable contributions elsewhere. Marc Guehi has recovered 18 balls through the opening two matches, while Donnarumma has played every minute in goal.
City’s overall record is finely balanced after two games: one victory, one defeat, four goals scored, four conceded and one clean sheet.
The next opportunity to improve those numbers comes against AEK Athens at the Etihad before a demanding sequence against Leipzig, Napoli and Barcelona.
This tracker will be updated after every Champions League fixture to reflect City’s latest results, remaining schedule and player statistics.
