Quite a fierce match, I thought Manchester City would be able to win this match but the Inter Milan goalkeeper contributed very well, the opportunities that Manchester City had could be handled very well. With the occasional counterattack, they always failed in their passing even though there were some on target but it did not result in a goal and the same thing with the attack built by Manchester City which did not result in a goal. I don't think this match will be a draw, but in fact there were no goals in this match. With their respective performances I think Manchester City is superior and I see here that Halaand almost didn't hold the ball because he was tightly guarded by the Inter Milan defender, what I think is interesting here is the Inter Milan goalkeeper who always managed to guard his goal very well.
As far as the champions league is concern, Inter Milan is not a small team that you should write off. I was also thinking that Manchester City would easily win the match but after the first 45 minutes, it became obvious that Inter Milan came prepared knowing who they are facing. Now that Manchester City have failed to win at Etihad, I wonder what their chances will be at San Siro and considering the history of Italian teams, they are always very difficult to win in their home. Therefore, I'm thinking that Manchester City is not going to find it easy when they visit Inter Milan.

The most notable match of the day was Manchester City and Inter in the Champions League stages. What was more notable was that Manchester City could not score a single goal. I was expecting a match like this to end with both teams scoring or maybe over. It was not very enjoyable to watch either as the match ended in a draw and there were no goals scored by either team.
I was not pleased with PSG performance today because when it comes to their domestic league, they dominate and have no rival but in UCL it is a different thing. I couldn't believe that PSG had to struggle till the 90th minutes of the game before they managed to score one goal which was due to luck because Gitona goalkeeper almoat saved the ball before it slipped passsd in between in two legs into the back of the post. Firona performance is poor thos season and PSG could not take advantage of tgeor weakness to score good number of goals.
You should be happy that they won the match at the end if you in support of PSG. It doesn't matter if they had a bad performance in the game or not. What matters is that they have won the match which they were supposed to in the first place. It seems the match was not interesting to watch and I can relate to that. It's not just a PSG match but Manchester City against Inter Millian was not the match I expected. I was expecting a strong action in each of their goals. Inter Millian countering attack was a bit dull and unsuccessful. The chances Manchester City had too they missed all. I know their other gamblers who are angry about why Manchester City didn't win the game. Many expect them to win and have included the match in our bet slip. It's a disappointing day for me but I hope tomorrow will be better.
The most surprising result of today is Manchester City vs Inter Milan because before this match begin people at here have already to discuss about this match and most of them including me were predict Manchester City will gets easy win from Inter Milan because on the paper Manchester City certainly much better than Inter Milan especially just like i said before Manchester City always has good records during playing at their home but unfortunately they were failed to earn full points from this match
Actually i have to says Manchester City a bit unlucky in this match because if we talking about the chances to scores during the match Manchester City can get some chances from their players such as Haaland, Foden, De Bruyne and even Gundogan but unfortunately these players were failed to utilized those chances to scores besides that i think we cannot ruled out about Yann Sommer because he was performing well and he can make several saves which makes Inter Milan defensive lines is not conceded goals until the match ended

Today’s UCL games were very boring. We had a lot of goals in yesterday’s fixtures, I expected to see a similar result in today’s fixtures. Manchester City and Inter Milan was the most disappointing game. Milan played defensively as usual, they didn’t try to attack. Manchester City were the only side pressing but they couldn’t break Milan’s defense to get a goal.
-Image Edited Out-Judging from the Formation match used by Inter Milan alone that they played to defend more, Inzaghi realized that Man City's midfielders were very dangerous, therefore making a two-layer defense here so that Man City strikers did not have many passes from their midfielders, seen from the chance of a shot towards the Inter Milan goal alone, it is certain that it is difficult for Guardiola and Inzhagi succeed in blunting Manchester City even though in the end they also could not score a goal too, but it is better for Inter Milan than losing, and most importantly here the two goalkeepers from Inter Milan and Man City did their best, they blocked every ball that came to their goal.
PSG did impressively well today, I was really happy for them, although it was just a goal victory but it was worth everything for them just when most people didn't really get to believe in how much they can achieve in the champions League than they are starting off on a very good not, I'm putting it like this because Girona we know currently isn't a small team back in the la Liga which happens to be their domestic league, PSG may have all the experience much better than they do which could be seen as an advantage but thwn trust me, in their current shape, the tension of the champions League wouldn't let one believe they were going to win their game not after even bigger teams are struggling to get victory.
This season the UCL will come with plenty of surprise and contention against big tea.s and only the brave ones may be able to scale through. Hopefully before the champions League ends this season, it's very possible PSG will be able to have a more decent finish than previous seasons.

How could you expect as many goals as four in a game like this? You and I know that both Manchester city and Inter Milan are very solid team in their respective local league and Inter Milan always play their best game against top teams. I as well expected Manchester city to win with at least a goal to nil but I have no second thought about under 2.5 goals because I know how Inter Milan defense is.
Last season, Inter had by far the best defence in the Serie A. They've lost only 22 goals in 38 matches (2nd AC Milan lost 49 goals). But with games at this level anything is possible. If either team managed to score an early one, we could have a completely different game.
I think either team is satisfied with a draw tonight. On paper, this was the most difficult game in the group stage for both teams.
Just for the sidelines, yesterday games produced a total of 28 goals while today's was just a total of 13 goals, a very wide gap in my opinion.
Very wide gap indeed, and it was largely due to an exceptional Bayern Vs Dinmo match where we've seen 11 goals, something that doesn't happen very often.
But even excluding Bayern's game, the average goals per match was 3.4 yesterday as compared to 2.17 today, so still a notable difference.

Since the game ended in a draw, and no team collected all 3 points, it doesn't matter if any team dominated the other or not. This current UCL group stage is like a league where 3 points is awarded, so every team needs that win. City where pretty much good, as they had the ball on several occasions. The problem I've always observed with city is that they sometimes fail to score when they play against a very defensive side, and you see the frustration on the faces of the players at some point. For Haaland, today's wasn't just a regular day for him, as the inter defense were all over him. Gundogan at some point was literally making the runs into that no.9 position, but just couldn't give a better header like Haaland. Now that city has drew against a very defensive side, I think they will be more troubled when they might against another defensive side on Sunday. So, from today's game, Celtic, Dortmund and Sparta Prague won in style, though I wasn't expecting Salzburg to lose in that manner. Congrats to those that won, and better luck to those that loss. Over to the next teams that will be in action tomorrow.
It's totally a boring champions league day in all the matches playing tonight across Europe cause up till 60 munites played and it's just 4 goal from the Celtic vs Slovan Bratislava game where we had never expected much goals to be coming from tonight in all the games unlike yesterday games that registered many goals right from the first half in all the different games.source.
Talking about Inter Milan respecting Manchester City in that game it's really something not surprising when you look at inter Milan formation 3-5-2 that's a defensive formation which leaves them to sit back absorb pressure contrast to Manchester City that are playing with an attacking formation. Am just not sure how long they continue sitting behind to hold Manchester City from scoring tonight.
It's really a boring UCL night, so crazy boring
In the first half everything felt a little boring. But initially I thought in the second half everything would change and make the match even more exciting. But it seems like the match is still going on just as fiercely. And only the Celtic vs Slovan Bratislava match doesn't seem boring. Because currently their match has even produced 5 goals. Because the current score for the Celtic vs Slovan Bratislava match is 4-1. Which means there have been 5 goals from that match. Meanwhile, the other matches were all still with the same score as in the first half, namely 0-0. but for the Man City vs Inter Milan match, even though there were no goals, in the second half it seemed like the tempo of their game was faster and it became a little more exciting.It's really a boring UCL night, so crazy boring

For me, what Liverpool did was also very interesting, they managed to bounce back and show a different performance, after previously being defeated by Nottingham Forest in the Premier League.
Besides that, Manchester City was forced to share points with Inter Milan, where previously Pep Guardiola squad was highly favored to secure full points. Dominating ball possession was not effective enough to break down the opponent defense, and it must be admitted that Inter Milan defense line played very disciplined.

It was indeed quite a fierce match between Manchester City vs Inter Milan who were both able to attack and defend quite well until the end of the match even though Manchester City was able to control the ball more than the Inter Milan team in the match. However, what surprised me a little about their match was that there was only one yellow card for Ruben Dias in the 33rd minute and after that I didn't see any other players getting cards except for substitutions for both teams in the second half.

Honestly, it is really a boring day, especially for me, because in almost all the matches I bet on, both teams were expected to score, yet none of the teams have scored a single goal. It is really disappointing and a boring moment for me because I never expected this kind of outcome. In Manchester City's match against Inter Milan, I was expecting at least four goals to happen, but it seems like both teams haven't even had good chances of scoring.The way the match is going, with how both teams are playing, I don't even think they can score two goals. Many people who bet on this Champions League match will have a hard time because it is very rare to bet on these teams and predict less than 2.5 goals. But let's see what will happen at the end of the game.

I as well expected Manchester city to win with at least a goal to nil but I have no second thought about under 2.5 goals because I know how Inter Milan defense is. Manchester city should have won that game thou but wasn't lucky enough couple with late and inaccurate substitution from Pep. The performance from both teams was actually entertaining and the draw was not too bad either. Manchester city have a tough game coming on Sunday against Arsenal.

It's clear that many will be disappointed if Man City fails to beat Inter Milan in today's match. Because this is a home match for Man City. But they still had difficulty scoring goals in today's match.
I am one of the disappointed people.
I had a bet on Manchester City to score at least 2 goals. There is no way I would have believed they wouldn't get at least a goal at home. I knew the match was going to be difficult, but I expected a free-flowing edge-to-edge football, but I was disappointed. It was a slowing game with occasional counterattack.
PSG was the other team I had money on to score at least two goals, they also disappointed but they were lucky to get a winner from an own-goal very late in the game.
Today was a bad day of gambling for me. Earlier on, Bologna couldn't get a goal at home. I wanted them to score at least a goal but they couldn't and they didn't even play like people that wanted to get a goal. With the way yesterday's games ended, I thought there would be goals today, but I was wrong.
Quite a fierce match, I thought Manchester City would be able to win this match but the Inter Milan goalkeeper contributed very well, the opportunities that Manchester City had could be handled very well.

I don't see City as superior in this match at all because they didn't score any goal and Inter tighten their defense giving City a big problem to breakthrough. I didn't expect a goalless draw from City and they cut my slip.Assuming it is EPL that's when City will have the muscles to score goals and Haaland will be scoring hat-trick but in UCL, they find it difficult and Haaland was nowhere to be found on the pitch. The only time that I saw him was when he made a header over the goal post. Yan sommer is a wonderful goalie as he saved Inter from defeat.
The game ended without having any goal from either team, although I also predicted that, as I said, if Manchester City were not able to win this game, then it would definitely be a draw, and that is what ended up happening; the game ended as a draw for them.
The match was ended well after the Manchester City share a point with inter which was surprised so many people’s, because they where not expecting that; all people expectations is Manchester City will give inter Milan so much pressure; but with the way inter Milan give Manchester City a close marking they are unable to having even one goals: as this happened like this I knows that a lot of people’s that bet will lose so much of their, i sight some bet be before the match kicks off and a lot of people given Manchester City straight wining and the inter Milan make sure the game ended in draw.Although they both tried because many attempts were made by both sides, I still see Manchester City still playing more than Inter Milan, even though there was no goal in the game. They should be the team that plays the most, and that is Manchester City.
Actually the both side are trying enough, but what want you to know is that even the Manchester City didn’t expect this kind of strong performance from the inter Milan the way they hod they well in every position is today I noticed that the inter Milan also have a strong defenders and even the their goalkeeper did very well he had so much contribution by canceling some of the Manchester City opportunities. Quite a fierce match, I thought Manchester City would be able to win this match but the Inter Milan goalkeeper contributed very well, the opportunities that Manchester City had could be handled very well. With the occasional counterattack, they always failed in their passing even though there were some on target but it did not result in a goal and the same thing with the attack built by Manchester City which did not result in a goal.

I think Manchester City wasn't particular about winning this game else there's almost no way they will end this game without a goal, a goalless draw isn't a thing Manchester City do settle for in games as this because I know the champions League is a priority for them, they would want to stop Madrid from retaining the title again after all this time so I I'm strongly of the opinion it's a priority but then Manchester City have another tough game to tackle in five days from now and that too could contribute to their performance in this games because in the champions League they have a whole lot of games ahead and they just had their first game so they can probably make up for it in the nearest future but for their premier League games in Sunday, they may not be able to make up for it again id they eventually lose out in that game as it may affect their title race or chances of been at the top of the table.

If you watched the match very well, you'll see that today's match was so entertaining, it was a battle unlike yesterday's match that were simply couple of walkovers. Manchester city tried everything possible and more, but the inter players came prepared and rendered all their efforts futile. I love the battle nature of the match and that's the true definition of entertaining for me although there was not any goal.In the PSG match, I must first commend the coach for changing Asensio at that crucial time. Kolo Muani troubled the Girona players from that attacking midfielder position he played. The PSG team is very lucky to find a goal after many efforts repelled by the strong Gironian defense. I must say the Girona team needs to work more on their offensive play pattern, they lack serious coordination and communication upfront and PSG exploited this leak very much.

Not only was the Manchester City v Inter match boring because anyway, the match between PSG v Girona was a very boring match because the goal just came in the 90th minute and it was also an own goal. To be honest,because I also considered the very interesting result yesterday with many goals scored, then I also expected the same in the PSG match, because I thought PSG would be able to make a victory with many goals because PSG is still on fire in Ligue 1 too.
But unfortunately, I expected too much in today's match so I also lost the bet but fortunately I still got a good profit from Dortmund. In fact, Dortmund who at least gave me a little doubt because of playing away, but in fact Dortmund actually managed to win with three goals without reply, and it was a good result for Dortmund unlike Manchester City and PSG.
