The 2025-26 Champions League kicks-off it's first week with a mouthwatering clash between England and Italy as Manchester City play host to Napoli on Thursday September 18, live on DAZN in Spanish language.
Italian champions Napoli trave to the eight times Premier League winners, with both believing they can lift the trophy come of the end of the season.
The competition once again begins with the new league phase after it was introduced last season and further intrigued is added to this one as the game marks an instant return to City for club hero Kevin de Bruyne, who brought the curtain down on a glorious decade in Manchester this past summer and moved to Naples.
He'll be joined by former Manchester United midfielder Scott McTominay, who has been a revelation for the Italian club and was named Serie A Player of the Season in 2025.
Despite two titles in three years, Napoli are yet to really make their mark in the Champions League and go to a Manchester City side still smarting from their disappointing campaign last year.

Manchester City vs Manchester United will take place at The Etihad Stadium , located in Manchester .
The venue opened in 2002 and can hold up to 53,600 fans in its current configuration.
Haaland remains City's biggest threat and has already netted three times in the Premier League this season and five in one game for Norway during the international break.
The striker is also closing in on another milestone, with his next Champions League goal taking him to half of century of goals in the competition, having played just 48 games.
On this occasion, all eyes will be on the former City hero, who makes an instant return to The Etihad following his move to Italy in the summer.
City will know all about him and what he can do, but the Belgian will be out to prove there's still some magic in those boots. Just don't expect a celebration from him if he gets on the scoresheet.

Pep's side have wobbled already in the Premier League, which will make this one a cagey affair, settled by the odd goal. With home advantage, it should come from City.
