After experiencing a 4-2 loss to reigning European champions Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester City will host AEK Athens at the Etihad Stadium on Tuesday, aiming to get back on track in the Champions League. Although Enzo Maresca's squad secured a win in the Premier League over the weekend, maintaining their perfect start in that competition, their overall form remains inconsistent as they prepare for the Greek team's arrival. Following their match against PSG, City returned to the Etihad on Saturday, needing a strong performance to overcome the newly promoted opposition. The 3-2 win raised some concerns, despite Erling Haaland scoring for the eighth consecutive game, further cementing his place in Premier League history. However, Haaland was among five players who caused Maresca some anxiety during the match, leading to questions about how the Sky Blues will navigate a challenging schedule of three fixtures over the next three weeks before the international break. While the demanding calendar is a concern, Manchester City's primary focus remains on the uncertainty surrounding their pending appeal related to financial irregularities. Regardless, Maresca's team is determined to maintain a professional approach and adopt a united front as they aim to extend their unbeaten streak against Greek teams in the Champions League to five matches. Historically, City has enjoyed success in these encounters, recording three wins and one draw without conceding a goal, showcasing their dominance despite the limited number of matches. Marko Nikolic's squad had been undefeated in regular time since the season began until they faced Shakhtar Donetsk at Stamford Bridge, where the Ukrainian side is hosting their European matches this season.
