Manchester City will continue their UEFA Champions League campaign on Wednesday, 11 December, when they travel to Italy to face Juventus.
Pep Guardiola’s sit 17th in the league phase table after five matches, two points behind the top eight, which guarantees a spot in the Round of 16.
The last time the two teams met was in 2015 when they played each other home and away in the group stages of this competition.
If you are heading to the match, then here is everything you need to know about the Juventus away section, the best places to drink, and more.
Matchday – Shuttle bus and fan meeting point
City have advised their supporters to go to the meeting point at ‘Valentine Park’ on Wednesday. From here, there will be shuttle buses going to the stadium with a police escort from 6pm ahead of the 8pm kick-off.
After the game, there will be no public transport, meaning the visiting fans will have to use the shuttle bus to return to the meeting point. The club also announced on the official website that the Valentine Park area is accessible.
Where is the Juventus away section?
City fans will be located in the north-east corner of the Allianz Stadium. This includes two upper sectors: 211 and 212, as well as the lower sector 110. There are 1,083 spaces combined in the upper sectors, while there are 1,016 spaces in the lower sector. Visiting supporters enter the stadium via Gate E.
What is the Juventus away section like?
As Allianz Stadium is one of the most modern grounds in Italy, views of the pitch across the ground are generally very good. If you’re in the lower sector, you will be extremely close to the action. Be aware that from some parts of the away section, your view might be obstructed by the barriers and cable support.
When you’re inside the ground, it is important to note that only card payments will be accepted when purchasing food and drink items. Tickets will also be released exclusively digitally, with no print tickets.
At the end of the match, visiting fans can be kept inside the stadium for up to 40 minutes until local police allow them to leave and get onto the shuttle bus back to Valentine Park. You can read an in-depth guide for visiting supporters compiled by Juventus here.
