The Manchester City team will challenge the Red Star Belgrade team in a 1e ronde Champions League in Etihad Stadium Stadium, Manchester on Tuesday, September 19, 2023. For streaming coverage of Manchester City vs Red Star Belgrade, preview and how to watch it, see in this article.
Man City, the defending champions of the Champions League, will begin their journey to defend their title by facing Crvena Zvezda at the Etihad, Man City’s headquarters on Tuesday, September 19 2023 in the afternoon ET. This is the first match for both teams in group G, which also contains FC Porto and Olympiacos.
Man City has everything to achieve a big win in this match. They have home advantage, excellent player condition and consistent performance. They have won five of their last six games, and two of them by big goal margins.
Coach Pep Guardiola has warned Man City’s stars not to be satisfied with their achievements last season, when they achieved a historic treble including their first Champions League title. He wants them to make history again by defending the title, which only Real Madrid has done in the modern era.
Man City have also chosen a new leadership group, with Bernardo Silva replacing Ilkay Gundogan. Kyle Walker will be captain in Kevin De Bruyne’s absence, and Ruben Dias and Rodri will complete the five leaders.
Meanwhile, Crvena Zvezda is a weak team and cannot be relied on when playing away from home. They have lost two of their last two away matches. In the Champions League, they have also frequently lost away from home, with six defeats from their last nine matches.
Crvena Zvezda have no hope of getting any points at home to Man City, which is one of the most terrifying stadiums in Europe. The Belgrade-based club will face a Man City team that is passionate and hungry for the title.
Looking at the statistics and performance history of the two teams, it is very clear that Man City can get their first three points in the Champions League group stage easily because they have Erling Haaland, Julian Alvares and other great players. However, ‘The Citizens’ still have to be alert to something unexpected in football.
