Pep Guardiola‘s men begin our first-ever defence of Europe’s elite competition when we host Serbian champions Red Star Belgrade on Tuesday 19 September.
Kick-off at the Etihad Stadium is set for 20:00 (UK), as we look to build on Saturday’s hard-fought win over West Ham United in the Premier League.
Goals from Jeremy Doku - his first for the Club - Bernardo Silva and Erling Haaland secured a comeback victory, dealing the Hammers their first loss of the season in the process.
