Man City need a win tonight to avoid what would be a pretty embarrassing Champions League exit. Here’s Pep Guardiola’s verdict: 

“The situation that we have is that we have to win the game and if not we will not continue in this competition. We want to have another chance to play another two games, to have the chance of the next stages. It’s not a problem, it’s an opportunity.”

The new Champions League format for 2025 will see the knockout play-off round in action for the first time in February, to decide which teams enter the last-16.

The top eight teams in the final Champions League league-phase table will automatically go through to the last-16. They will be joined by the winners from the play-offs; a set of eight two-legged ties between those clubs who finished between ninth and 24th in the league standings.
