A Manchester City team struggling to scale previous heights in the Premier League resume against RB Leipzig their attempts to finally win the Champions League.
It remains the one trophy to have eluded Pep Guardiola at City thus far and the longer he goes without one, the more it is used as a stick to beat him with.
While the English champions are hardly at their best domestically this season, perhaps they are better suited to life in Europe this season.
Though struggling for consistency, having the quality and lethal finishing ability of Erling Haaland may be tailor-made for the knockout format of the Champions League.
