THIS IS SEISMIC!
You'll be hard pushed to ever find a match more finely poised.
The 2023 Champions League winners face the very real possibility of an exit at the first hurdle. Quite unfathomable for a Pep Guardiola side - so accustomed to success and silverware.
So what do they need to do tonight?
Win.
It really is that simple.
They sit precariously below the dotted line, two points below those in the play-off spots. But conveniently, in the perfect position to leapfrog tonight's opponents should they pick up maximum points.

Club Brugge are perhaps far from ideal opponents for City, though. Amid a 20+ match unbeaten streak - having not tasted defeat since October, the Belgian outfit don't exactly stand as an 'easy three points'.
So something has to give. City's Champions League status, or Brugge's imperious, undefeated record?
We will soon find out.
