The team’s next Premier League match is on Sunday against Chelsea.
After suffering an ankle injury over the weekend, Manchester City striker Erling Haaland is feeling better, but manager Pep Guardiola stated on Monday that he is not sure if he will play in the team’s next Champions League match against Young Boys.
Guardiola remarked, “I spoke with him and the doctor.” regarding Haaland. “He said he felt much better yesterday (Sunday), but I’m not sure.”
After injuring his ankle, Haaland was replaced at the half of City’s Premier League matchup with Bournemouth, 6-1. Haaland was substituted as a precaution because, according to Guardiola, he “didn’t feel comfortable” during that match. City is the Tuesday host. “I will consider him to play if he says, ‘I am ready, I don’t have pain,'” Guardiola declared.
A victory would guarantee City a spot in the round of 16.

Hub Hamburg
Barcelona will be the most recent Champions League team to play in Hamburg, Shakhtar’s adopted hometown, during this season. Next up is Royal Antwerp on November 28. Even though Hamburg’s former European champion club isn’t involved, the German city will be a center for international football in the upcoming month.
Prior to the draw for the men’s European Championship finals tournament on December 2, the port city hosts those Champions League matches for Shakhtar.
One of ten locations for Euro 2024 is the Volksparkstadion, home of Hamburger SV, a second-tier team, with a capacity of more than 50,000 hosting a quarterfinal as well as five games.
Shakhtar is using the stadium because, since the beginning of the Russian military invasion in February 2022, Ukrainian clubs have not hosted international matches due to security concerns.
When Shakhtar lost 3-1 to Porto in September, a crowd of 46,000 people chanted for Hamburger SV, possibly expressing their annoyance at the team’s 17-year absence from the Champions League.
HSV defeated Juventus and their all-star forward line of Michel Platini, Paolo Rossi, and Zbigniew to win the 1983 European Cup
Final score: 1-0 for Boniek; however, they are currently in their sixth consecutive season in the Bundesliga’s second division.
With a victory on Tuesday, Barcelona—who has won all three of their games in Group H—will move on to the knockout stage.
In Milan, mixed
This week, one Milanese team has the opportunity to advance to the round of 16, while the other could be eliminated.
Inter Milan, the Serie A leaders and last year’s beaten finalists, can secure their spot with a victory at Salzburg on Wednesday.
For AC Milan, the situation is even worse as seven-time champions. Three weeks after losing 3-0 in Paris, Milan will host PSG on Tuesday, placing them last in Group F with no goals and no victories.
Nevertheless, the fact that Borussia Dortmund hosts Newcastle on Tuesday and only four points separate first and last in a tough group gives the Rossoneri hope.
When Gianluigi Donnarumma returns to San Siro, Milan supporters will probably greet him with hostility. As a free agent, he left in 2021, with Milan receiving no transfer fee.
Real was scoreless.
Madrid: Real Madrid dropped to second place in the table behind Girona on Sunday after missing a number of opportunities to hold Rayo Vallecano to a 0-0 draw at home.
The home team applied constant pressure and had 22 shots, but they were unable to score despite dominating from the outset.
Real Madrid failed to score for the first time this season, and as a result, Carlo Ancelotti’s team is now on 29 points, two behind surprise leaders Girona, who defeated Osasuna 4-2 on Saturday.
Barcelona, in third place, has 27 points following a thrilling 1-0 victory over Real Sociedad.
Coach Ancelotti stated, “I’m not worried about not scoring; we’ve tried in many ways, it hasn’t worked out, and that can happen.”
“I thought the match was good, with a good attitude and lots of chances; we are hurt by the outcome, but we lacked a good goal.”
In the 66th minute, Vinicius Jr. appeared to have given Real Madrid the lead, but his attempt was disqualified due to an earlier offside.
