Head-to-head record
A historic first meeting
This will be the first ever competitive meeting between Manchester City and Galatasaray. The two clubs have never faced each other in the Champions League or any other UEFA competition, making this a historic occasion for both sets of supporters.
Istanbul holds special memories for Manchester City fans - it was in the Turkish city that City lifted the Champions League trophy in 2023, defeating Inter Milan 1-0 in the final at the Atatürk Olympic Stadium. Now the Turkish champions come to Manchester looking to make their own mark on the competition.
Both clubs in the Champions League
This is Manchester City's 15th consecutive season in the Champions League, underlining their status as European regulars. Galatasaray, meanwhile, are competing in their 18th Champions League campaign, having previously reached the knockout stages on three occasions.

Manchester City's 2025-26 Champions League campaign
Manchester City are competing in the revamped Champions League format for the second season, with 36 teams in one league table. City were drawn against Borussia Dortmund, Real Madrid, Bayer Leverkusen, Villarreal, Napoli, Bodø/Glimt, Galatasaray, and Monaco in the league phase.
City began their campaign with a 2-0 victory over Napoli, with Haaland scoring his 50th Champions League goal. They drew 2-2 with Monaco away, beat Villarreal 2-0 on the road, and defeated Borussia Dortmund 4-1 at home. The team has shown resilience despite significant squad changes in the summer.
Galatasaray's 2025-26 season
Galatasaray are the reigning Turkish Super Lig champions, having won three consecutive titles under manager Okan Buruk. They set multiple records in their 2023-24 and 2024-25 title-winning campaigns, including the most points in a season (102) and most consecutive wins (17).
This summer, Galatasaray made several high-profile signings including Victor Osimhen (€75m from Napoli - a Turkish football record), Leroy Sané (Bayern Munich), İlkay Gündoğan (Manchester City), Uğurcan Çakır (Trabzonspor), and Wilfried Singo (Monaco). The departures include legendary goalkeeper Fernando Muslera after 13 seasons at the club.
In the Champions League, Galatasaray have shown they can compete at the highest level, notably defeating Liverpool 1-0 at home and winning 3-0 at Ajax. Their opening match ended in a 5-1 defeat to Eintracht Frankfurt, but they have since recovered with impressive victories.
