Manchester City vs. Borussia Dortmund: Preview, date, time, live stream and how to watch Champions League match in Canada

When Manchester City and Borussia Dortmund meet in their Group G game of the 2022/23 UEFA Champions League on Wednesday, there will be a familiar feeling between the two teams.

Not because they’re frequent foes – they’ve only faced each other in two previous UCL campaigns, the last coming in 2020-21. No, the reason for the familiarity between the teams lies in the amount of player movement between clubs.

In addition to Ilkay Gündogan, who switched from Dortmund to City in 2016, there are numerous connections between the teams. Erling Haaland is the most notable player to leave the German side for Sky Blues this summer, but Manuel Akanji and Sergio Gomez also recently joined Manchester after playing for the Yellow Submarine.

Haaland, Akanji and Gomez all started for City in their 4-0 win at Sevilla on Matchday 1, with Gündogan coming off the bench, so it makes sense to be on the pitch with a large contingent of ex-Dortmund players in sky-blue shirts on Wednesday calculate.

For City manager Pep Guardiola, that familiarity can come in handy as any advantage over the team most likely to challenge them for first place in the group is welcome.

“The players know football. They know what they’re looking for. They can have details about a player because they know him better than I do,” Guardiola said.

“When you’re in the dressing room or on the court, they’ve been there for years, they know a lot more than I do.

“I can look at a thousand tapes, but you know more.

“The formation is maybe not as important as the manager or how they felt playing against us a couple of seasons ago.”
