Manchester City resumes its Champions League journey tonight as Pep Guardiola’s side travels to Spain to face Villarreal.
The Premier League champions have collected four points from their opening two group-stage games — beating Napoli 2-0 at the Etihad Stadium before being held to a 2-2 draw away to Monaco. After an underwhelming 2024–25 campaign, City now look determined to reestablish themselves among Europe’s elite.
Villarreal, however, promises to be no easy opponent. The Yellow Submarine have started the season strongly, sitting third in La Liga behind Real Madrid and Barcelona. They also secured a hard-fought 2-2 draw with Juventus in their last Champions League outing.

The match kicks off at 8:00 p.m. (UK time) — that’s 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time and 12:00 p.m. Pacific Time for viewers in the United States.
