In the early morning of June 27, Ait-Nouri assisted Jeremy Doku to open the scoring for Man City against Juventus. The final result was a 5-2 win for the Premier League side and they advanced to the knockout round as Group G winners.
In this match, Ait-Nouri played outstandingly with his ability to participate in attacks and impressive playmaking. The new £31 million player adapted very quickly to Pep Guardiola's tactical style.
TNT Sports reported that Ait-Nouri had a 100% passing accuracy, with 53 passes being on target. He also made two accurate long passes and created three scoring chances. The former Wolves star also successfully dribbled past Juventus players three times.

Man City fans are excited about Ait-Nouri's potential. One user on X shared: "Ait-Nouri is a real top defender. I can't believe what I'm seeing." Another fan also praised: "The next defender to be upgraded by Pep Guardiola."
Another fan said: "Ait-Nouri has become an interesting discovery for Man City. His passing ability is quite similar to David Silva."
After the win over Juventus, striker Doku said: "Ait-Nouri is a top player, adapts very quickly and plays flexibly. He can play on the wing and in the middle."
Man City seems to have a solution for the vacant left-back position. In the 2024/25 season, Pep is forced to pull center-back Josko Gvardiol to fill this position as a temporary solution.
Ait-Nouri is expected to continue to start for Man City against Al Hilal in the upcoming round of 16. Ait-Nouri's appearance will certainly be a threat to the representative from Saudi Arabia.
