Manchester City made a slow start to their Champions League campaign, drawing 0-0 with Internazionale on Wednesday while Paris Saint-Germain needed a last-minute goal to beat newcomers Girona.

Pep Guardiola’s side have won all four of their Premier League games this season but failed to beat Italian champions Inter in a repeat of the 2023 final, which was won by City.

City lost Kevin De Bruyne to injury at half-time and Phil Foden fired the best chance straight at Inter goalkeeper Yann Sommer, while Erling Haaland was kept quiet on a night when he was chasing his 100th goal for the English club.

“It was a very intense game against a strong opponent. We knew what was coming, they are also a top team and they are used to winning, so it was not going to be easy for us,” City defender Ruben Dias told TNT Sports.

Henrikh Mkhitaryan could have given Inter victory when he scored 15 minutes from time, extending City’s unbeaten run in the league to 24 games, breaking the record set by Manchester United between 2007 and 2009.

It is only the second time in 42 home Champions League games under Guardiola that City have failed to score.

“Our plan was to show that we are not afraid to play here,” said Inter midfielder Hakan Calhanoglu.

It looked like PSG would also have to settle for a point against European debutants Girona, who are backed by the City Football Group and who trailed Real Madrid in Spain for several months last season before finishing third.

However, in the 90th minute, Paulo Gazzaniga blundered with his keeper, allowing a cross from Nuno Mendes to slip through his hands and give the French champions the victory.

“It was a difficult game, they are a team that plays well with the ball,” Mendes told Canal Plus.

“I was surprised (by the goal). The goalkeeper was there and he shot through.”

Borussia Dortmund, last season’s number two, lost in the final to Real Madrid. That was the English winger Jamie Gittens: the 20-year-old came on as a substitute and scored twice in the 3-0 win against Club Brugge.

Serhou Guirassy scored his first goal for Dortmund since joining from Stuttgart last summer in injury time.

Celtic started the match in style by beating Slovan Bratislava 5-1 in Glasgow to win their opening Champions League match for the first time in thirteen attempts.

A powerful header from Liam Scales put Celtic ahead and the home side scored again through Kyogo Furuhashi early in the second half, before Arne Engels converted a penalty to make it 3-0.

Kevin Wimmer scored another fine goal for the Slovakian champions, who had reached four qualifying rounds, but Celtic extended their lead thanks to goals from Daizen Maeda and Adam Idah.

“It was a fantastic night,” Celtic captain Callum McGregor told TNT Sports.

“I hope the supporters enjoyed it, as did the managers and players. This is the next level for the group in terms of growth and development.”

Bologna drew 0-0 at home to Shakhtar Donetsk in the Italian team’s first ever Champions League match, with Lukasz Skorupski saving an early penalty from Shakhtar’s Georgiy Sudakov.

Sparta Prague beat Red Bull Salzburg 3-0 thanks to goals from Kaan Kairinen, Victor Olatunji and Qazim Laci. The Czech champions won the league for the first time since 2003.
