Manchester City face off with Paris Saint-Germain on their return to UEFA Champions League action on January 22.

Just eight points from their six league phase games in 2024 means Guardiola's team are battling to secure a playoff spot for the Round of 16 knockouts next month - with PSG fairing even worse - with just seven points picked up.
