Manchester City got off to a slow start in the Champions League as they played out a 0-0 draw with Inter at home on Wednesday. City had plenty of the ball and searched for a way through the Inter back line but the Serie A champions stayed strong in the middle of their half.
Despite his excellent form in front of goal this season, Erling Haaland had a rough 90 minutes, despite showing early promise when he was found in a dangerous position by a Savinho cross, but the striker's header was comfortably saved. The home team stepped up the pace from then, pressing high up and circulating the ball in Inter's half. City had a tough time cutting through the tight back line, though, and were mostly limited to efforts from the edge of the box.
They eventually managed to work it into a great position in the 70th minute when it was squared to Phil Foden but his shot was saved by Yann Sommer. It was Inter who next came closest when Henrikh Mkhitaryan got on the end of a dangerous cross, only to send it sailing over the bar.
City continued to push for the breakthrough but Inter were able to keep them at bay before Ilkay Gundogan saw two late headed chances pass him by as the game ended goalless.
