Kickoff at the Etihad

Manchester City host Paris Saint-Germain at the Etihad Stadium on 14 October, in the second matchday of the Champions League league phase. Kickoff is set for around 20:30, according to the French live blog 20minutes. The New York Times describes it as City's first European game since the 114 guilty findings over breaches of Premier League financial rules, a context that adds weight to a fixture it calls mouth-watering at any time.

A new coach at the Etihad

Enzo Maresca's side are undefeated so far this season, a perfect start to the Italian's tenure at the Etihad Stadium. He took over from Pep Guardiola, who stepped down over the summer after ten years in charge that included 20 trophies. Evening Standard frames the match as the first real test of that new era against a side of PSG's calibre.

Paris Saint-Germain

The New York Times notes that PSG are back-to-back Champions League winners. 20minutes writes that the Parisians must lift their level against a City side it describes as hard to play against on the pitch since the start of the season, and as weakened by its massive financial breaches.

Other fixtures on the night

The New York Times reports that eight other Champions League fixtures are also taking place on 14 October, and its live coverage will track them alongside the City and PSG match.
