Man City vs Barcelona Match Analysis & Prediction
09/10/2024 10:00 pm
On Wednesday night, Manchester City Women will kick off the UEFA Women’s Champions League group-stage with a tough home game against reigning European champions Barcelona Women.
Man City are set to make their first group-stage appearance after falling short in qualifying in 2021-22 and 2022-23.
The Women’s Super League side had no such trouble in this season’s qualifying draw, sweeping past French outfit Paris FC with an 8-0 aggregate scoreline.
A 5-0 victory in France and a 3-0 win in the home leg have helped Man City make an unbeaten start to the 2024-24 campaign.
Meanwhile, Barcelona are looking to continue their domination of European football after winning the Women’s Champions League in three of the last four seasons.
In May, Aitana Bonmati and Alexia Putellas grabbed a goal apiece to lead their side to a 2-0 victory in the final against all-time record winners Lyon.
After winning back-to-back Women’s Champions League trophies, Barcelona are now preparing to enter their first European campaign under the tutelage of Pere Romeu, who stepped up from his role as assistant to take over the reins following Jonatan Giraldez’s departure at the end of last season.
Barcelona will be looking to continue their free-scoring form in Wednesday’s trip to Manchester as they bid to extend their eight-game unbeaten run in Women’s Champions League away matches.
