Opponents and Match Dates Revealed…
Manchester City just got a sneak peek at their Champions League dance partners after Thursday’s draw. The Blues, having tripped over last season’s play-off like a catwalk rookie in high heels, are keen to strut straight to the knockout stages. City needs to land in the top eight for a direct spot, while a lower rank could send them on a detour through the play-offs as popular as a dentist appointment. Home games will see Borussia Dortmund, Bayer Leverkusen, Napoli, and Galatasaray gracing City’s field, with the team packing their bags for visits to Real Madrid, Villarreal, Bodo/Glimt, and Monaco.
Fans will be biting their nails waiting for the match dates, which are expected by Saturday. Yet, the Champions League calendar itself is already set like your grandma’s 10-year-old fruitcake. Kick-off for matchday one is penned for 16–18 September 2025, followed by crucial stages right up to the final showdown set for May 30, 2026. With this schedule, City fans will have their electronic devices permanently set to football mode and couches worn down at an alarming rate!
