The European champions conclude the first phase of this season’s competition with a trip to Red Star Belgrade with the aim of maintaining our 100% record so far.
In a group also consisting of RB Leipzig and Young Boys, we beat the Bundesliga and Swiss outfits home and away after opening the defence of our crown with a 3-1 win over the nine-time Serbian Superliga champions at the Etihad Stadium.
As a result, Pep Guardiola’s side have already secured our place in the last-16 as Group G winners.
Such is the busy winter schedule, the fixture comes only three days after we returned to winning ways in the Premier League with a deserved 2-1 win over Luton.
PREVIEW | RED STAR BELGRADE V CITY
Despite a dominant first-half performance by the visitors at Kenilworth Road, the hosts snatched the lead before the interval when Elijah Adebayo headed home.
But strikes from Bernardo Silva and Jack Grealish ensured the points would travel up to Manchester as we moved to within four points of league-leaders, Liverpool.
Those involved in the success in Hertfordshire took part in a recovery session before our meticulous preparation for Red Star Belgrade continued on the field at the City Football Academy.
