Manchester City staged a remarkable comeback in their Women’s Champions League return, drawing 2-2 against Bayern Munich. Bayern initially led with goals from Giulia Gwinn and an own-goal by Kerstin Casparij. City began their rally before halftime with Beth Mead scoring, and Carlotta Wamser completed the comeback in the 86th minute. Khadija Shaw missed a penalty for City, who became the first English team to avoid defeat away to Bayern in Europe. This achievement follows City's domestic double last season under coach Andrée Jeglertz, where they won the Women's Super League and the FA Cup.

In another match, Inter Milan secured a 1-0 victory over Swedish club Häcken in their competition debut, with Haley Bugeja scoring early. Häcken's goalkeeper Jennifer Falk was sent off late in the game. Inter had previously advanced by defeating Wolfsburg in a penalty shootout.
