Team News
Andrée Jeglertz confirmed that Iman Beney had missed out on our trip to Bayern Munich after failing to fully recover from a head injury sustained in Friday’s clash with Liverpool.
The Swiss international is the only absentee from our last outing, though, meaning the boss has a strong squad to choose from in Munich.
The full travelling squad can be found here.
Andrée Jeglertz preview
“There are a lot of things in how they [Bayern Munich] play football that is similar to us. They have a lot of dynamics between the players, they rotate a lot.
“They can attack on wing, attack central and also some great individual players with [Klara] Buhl and Pernille Harder, Momoko [Tanikawa], lots of players with individual skills that we need to be aware of.”
Previous meeting
This will be our first-ever encounter with Bayern Munich, marking a key moment in our European history.
It will also be City’s first time playing in the League Phase format, which was introduced in 2025/26.
Last time out
City continued to impress in the Barclays Women’s Super League last Sunday when we ran out 4-2 winners against Liverpool at the Joie Stadium.
First-half goals came from Lauren Hemp and also Bunny Shaw, who scored from on the goal line.
With the score level at 2-2 heading into the second-half, there was to be late drama for City, with Grace Clinton’s dangerous cross heading for Shaw being turned in by Grace Fisk to put City back in the lead, before Hemp’s solo goal in second-half added time secured the win.
TV listings
The game is currently available to view in the UK on Disney+.
Should it be broadcast anywhere else around the world, this will be reflected on livesoccertv.com.
