Tonight, Manchester City continues their Champions League campaign with a high-stakes match against Sporting CP, now led by future Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim.
The showdown at Lisbon’s Estadio Jose Alvalade is a unique affair, drawing attention across both halves of Manchester. United’s new head coach, Amorim, has some unfinished business with Sporting before he transitions to Old Trafford. The 39-year-old will lead his team tonight against Premier League titleholders City at 8 p.m. and has one more fixture with Sporting, against Braga, before officially succeeding Erik ten Hag at United.
Expect an intriguing clash on the sidelines as Pep Guardiola faces off with Amorim, who will soon be a regular opponent in the Manchester Derby.
Kick-off Details:
City and Sporting’s battle kicks off at 8 p.m., with live coverage available on TNT Sports 1. Subscribers can also stream the game on Discovery+, accessible on phones, laptops, and other devices.
