Sporting CP vs Manchester City History

Sporting CP has never been considered a major threat in European football, mainly due to the club's sub-par record in UEFA's flagship tournament.

The Lisbon outfit reached the quarter-finals of the 1982/83 European Cup, though this remains the furthest Sporting have progressed in this competition. In the modern Champions League era, the Leões (Lions) have mostly struggled to advance to the knockout rounds.

On the other hand, Manchester City can boast European silverware having captured the Champions League title in 2023. Pep Guardiola's team narrowly beat Inter Milan to clinch the club's maiden European crown, having come close in the years leading up to this success.

The Premier League side had been knocked out by eventual champions Real Madrid in the semi-finals of the 2021/22 competition, having also lost out to Chelsea in the Champions League Final the year prior.

Sporting CP vs Manchester City Head-to-Head

The first competitive meeting between these clubs took place during the 2011/12 season, in the Round of 16 of the Europa League. The tie ended 3-3 with Sporting advancing via the away-goal rule. Sergio Agüero and Mario Balotelli were both on the scoresheet at the Etihad Stadium, though it wasn't enough for Roberto Mancini's side to make it through to the quarter-finals.

Their next clash came in the 2021/22 Champions League campaign, once again at the Round of 16 stage. Manchester City claimed a resounding 5-0 win at Estádio José Alvalade, with the second leg ending goalless.

The teams would next face each other in the newly-introduced Champions League league phase, with MCFC travelling to the Portuguese capital in November 2024.
