Manchester City are set to face BSC Young Boys in the second leg of the third group stage match of the UEFA Champions League 2023/24 on November 8.
Manchester City defeated their opponents at home on October 25 with a 3-1 score. Akanji scored the opening goal in the 48th minute which Elia equalised from the Young Boys in the 52nd minute. In the second half of the match Haaland scored a penalty, pushing his side ahead and scored once more in the 86th minute to seal the deal for the Citizens.
Pep Guardiola's side have been placed in Group G, alongside RB Leipzig, Crvena Zvezda and BSC Young Boys. This group's composition has raised questions due to what seems like a significant disparity in strength, with the treble winners being the clear frontrunners to advance.
Meanwhile, BSC Young Boys, marked their 98th season last year, maintaining a 27-year streak in the top division. The team competed in the Swiss Super League, Swiss Cup, and the UEFA Europa Conference League.
