PREVIOUS MEETING
We've only faced the Italian giants on one occasion, in the memorable Champions League final back in June 2023, where Rodrigo's superb strike secured our first European crown.
On what was the greatest night in the Club’s long, proud 129-year history, victory also set the seal on the Treble of Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League and sparked emotional scenes of unbridled joy amongst players, staff and fans alike in Turkey.
Fittingly, for what was Pep Guardiola's 300th victory as City manager, the triumph also saw the visionary Catalan become the first manager in football history to oversee a Treble twice, with Guardiola having also led Barcelona to the unique feat in 2009.
