City took the lead in the first half through a well-worked goal from Julian Alvarez, who finished off a clever assist from Phil Foden. However, Inter struck back in the second half, with Lautaro Martinez finding the back of the net after a rare defensive lapse from City’s usually solid backline. Pep Guardiola’s side pushed for a winner, but Inter’s disciplined defense, marshaled by goalkeeper André Onana, held firm to earn the Italian side a valuable point.

Guardiola acknowledged his side’s missed chances after the game. “We created enough to win, but in this competition, small details make the difference. Credit to Inter for their organization and spirit,” he said. The result leaves City still in a strong position in their group but with work to do in securing qualification.
Meanwhile, PSG grabbed a vital 2-1 victory, keeping their hopes of advancing alive. Kylian Mbappé opened the scoring with a stunning solo goal, showing once again why he’s considered one of the world’s best. The French side were pegged back temporarily as their opponents equalized just before halftime, but a late goal from Achraf Hakimi sealed the three points.
The win provided relief for PSG after a mixed start to their Champions League campaign. Manager Luis Enrique expressed satisfaction with the team’s resilience, stating, “It wasn’t easy, but we fought until the end and deserved the win.” PSG now look to build on this momentum in their upcoming fixtures.
