Premier League champion Manchester City played Serie A winner Inter Milan to a 0–0 draw in the UEFA Champions League at the Etihad Stadium.
The visitors couldn't get a sniff of the ball during the opening stages with City suffocating the opposition deep inside its own half. Inter had a few chances to break forward on the counter, but poor decision making in the final third let the Serie A side down.
Pep Guardiola's side looked for the opener throughout the first half in between a few counter attacks from Inter. Erling Haaland came close to breaking the deadlock, but couldn't apply the finishing touch.
On the opposite end of the pitch, Mehdi Taremi found himself on the edge of the City penalty area several times. He took too long to make his next move with Lautaro Martínez on the bench watching on.
City pushed for the winner as the match wore on but just couldn't convert the multiple chances it created. Both sides settled for a draw and left the match with a point apiece in the first matchweek in the new Champions League format.
