Historical Clash

The most recent encounter between Manchester City and AS Monaco dates back to the 2016-17 season`s Champions League Round of 16. In that tie, the Citizens were eliminated on aggregate. This series of matches proved pivotal for a young Kylian Mbappé, who delivered a standout performance, scoring his first two Champions League goals and solidifying his reputation as a burgeoning superstar in world football. Monaco`s impressive run that season saw them reach the semifinals before ultimately falling to Juventus. Mbappé`s stellar displays eventually led to his high-profile transfer to PSG the subsequent summer, marking him as the second-most expensive signing at the time, closely following Neymar Jr.`s transfer from Barcelona to PSG just weeks prior.
