Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca is demanding an immediate reaction from his players following a bruising European night at the hands of Paris Saint-Germain. The Premier League leaders must quickly dust themselves down as they prepare to welcome newly-promoted Ipswich Town to the Etihad Stadium this weekend.

Jack Grealish will become a free agent in the summer of 2027 when his contract at Manchester City expires - the one signed when moving to the Etihad Stadium for £100 million ($133m). He is currently taking in a second loan spell at Everton, with former Toffees star Pat Nevin explaining to GOAL why the emotional draw of Aston Villa may not be enough to take the England international away from Merseyside.

Ousmane Dembele was in inspired form as Paris Saint-Germain secured a statement 4-2 victory against Manchester City in the Champions League. The French international silenced his doubters on the pitch before delivering a light-hearted response to his recent critics in a surreal post-match interview.

The road to Madrid has begun with the league phase well under way - but which teams are currently looking in the best shape to go on and lift the European Cup?
