Manchester City kick-start their 2024-25 Champions League campaign with a showdown against Italian giants Inter Milan at the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday night.

The Citizens enter this contest on the back of beating Brentford 2-1 on home in the Premier League on Saturday, courtesy of two goals from leading marksman Erling Haaland.

As for Serie A champions Inter, they also remain unbeaten this term, but they were forced to settle for just a point in a 1-1 away draw with Monza on Sunday.

Here, Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at the head-to-head record and previous meetings between the two sides.

Head-to-head record

Previous meetings: 1

Man City wins: 1

Draws: 0

Inter Milan wins: 0

Man City and Inter Milan have only ever locked horns on one occasion over the years and that was in the 2023 Champions League final held in Istanbul.

The Citizens were competing in just their third European final and second-ever Champions League showpiece, two years on from suffering a slender 1-0 defeat to fellow Premier League side Chelsea.

As for Inter, they were competing in their eighth European final and sixth European Cup/Champions League final, their first since winning the competition in 2010.

One of the key moments from a goalless first half was the withdrawal of Man City's star playmaker Kevin De Bruyne due injury, but that did not faze the Citizens and they relied on another important midfielder to get them over the line.

Indeed, Rodri scored the only goal of the closely-fought contest, striking a composed side-footed strike from the edge of the penalty area into the bottom-right corner on the 68-minute mark.

Inter had their fair share of chances to restore parity; Federico Dimarco hit the crossbar, while Ederson produced a fine save from point-blank range to deny Romelu Lukaku, but it was Man City who held on to claim a memorable triumph in Turkey.

Man City's Champions League victory helped them to complete a historic treble having previously won the Premier League title and FA Cup earlier in the month. As for Inter, they ended the season winning both the Coppa Italia and Supercoppa Italiana, but finished third in Serie A.
