When and where?
Steaua journey to Manchester for the second leg of this play-off round clash, with the tie set to kick off at 7.45pm at the Etihad Stadium.
Competitive head to head record
Last Tuesday’s fixture was the first competitive meeting between the two sides, so City head into the game with a 100% record against the opposition.
This is not the first time Steaua have faced an English club in the Champions League. Arsenal and Chelsea have previously played against the Romanian’s, who are yet to win against a Premier League outfit in Europe’s elite competition.
