Manchester City faced Borussia Dortmund in a new UEFA Champions League matchday where they looked for a victory to secure the leadership of their group in the round of 16 of the competition. This match, beyond the result, also marked the return of Erling Haaland to Signal Iduna Park.

Erling Haaland was returning to the stadium where he made his mark in Europe just one season after his departure. The German team at the time gave him a fitting farewell and recognized him as one of the club's most important figures, even though he did not win the Bundesliga, his goals won the hearts of the German fans.
