Man City vs FK Crvena zvezda: Champions League prediction, kick-off time, TV, live stream, team news, odds
Manchester City tonight kick off the defence of their Champions League crown against Red Star Belgrade.
The English giants finally claimed last season the trophy they so craved as part of a remarkable Treble, and now Pep Guardiola & Co. are gearing up to do it all over again.
It is the first time City have faced the Serbian side, who are more commonly known as FK Crvena zvezda, and Guardiola in the build-up to the game highlighted their “aggressive” tactical plan and the need for his players to read situations carefully.
