Man City vs FK Crvena zvezda LIVE! Champions League result, match stream and latest updates today

Manchester City vs Red Star Belgrade LIVE!

Man City began their Champions League title defence with a come-from-behind win over Serbian giants FK Crvena zvezda on Tuesday night. Pep Guardiola’s side finally achieved European glory after so many years of frustration last season, setting the seal on a famous treble as Rodri’s goal saw off Inter Milan in June’s final in Istanbul.

Many are tipping Super Cup holders City to become the first team since Real Madrid to win back-to-back titles in Europe’s premier club competition, but they received a shock on the stroke of half-time on Tuesday as Ghana international winger Osman Bukari broke clear against the run of play to stun the Etihad Stadium.

But City were otherwise dominant and were level two minutes after the restart through Julian Alvarez, who also gave his team the lead on the hour mark after a horrendous error from goalkeeper Omri Glazer. Rodri then scored late for the hosts, who had no fewer than 37 attempts in the game. Follow Manchester City vs Red Star Belgrade reaction live below!
