The Cityzens' league-phase form has been uneven. Early wins over Napoli and Borussia Dortmund hinted at a response to last season’s 22nd-place finish, while a long unbeaten run across competitions was highlighted by an impressive victory over Real Madrid.

Recent defeats to Manchester United and Bodo/Glimt have stalled City’s momentum and pulled them back into a tight qualification race, making this final fixture decisive. Even with a win, a top-eight finish is no longer fully in their control.

Galatasaray face a different but equally tense situation, sitting 17th, three points off the top eight and only two above the elimination line. With automatic qualification unlikely, their focus is on securing a top-24 finish.

Pressure looms from below, with Napoli, Copenhagen and several others still capable of overtaking them, but Galatasaray know that even a draw in Manchester would secure their place in the knockout rounds. That knowledge should fuel belief rather than fear.

Despite being clear underdogs, Gala have already demonstrated their ability to upset elite opposition this season, claiming notable wins over Liverpool and Bodo/Glimt, the latter having just defeated Manchester City themselves.

City are expected to assert control on home soil, but with qualification stakes high on both sides, Galatasaray will arrive convinced that one more disciplined, fearless performance could define their European campaign.

Read on and we'll show you how to watch Man City vs Galatasaray in the 2025/26 Champions League.
