He Manchester City will visit Slovan Bratislava for the second round of the renewed UEFA Champions League in search of adding three for the first time in the European season, since in the debut they drew goalless against Inter Milan.
The Citizens drew 1-1 against Newcastle at St. James Park in the Premier League and are already focusing on what will be the trip to Slovakia, where the current champion of that country will be waiting for them. On the home team’s side, they won in the League but started the Champions League with a heavy 5-1 defeat against Celtic in Glasgow.
BY: Ederson – The Brazilian goalkeeper is one of the best in the world and a fixture under the three suits of the Ciudadano goal.
RHP: Kyle Walker – A reference for the team due to his career. It is difficult to think of a City player without his presence on the right wing.
DFC: Manuel Akanji – The Swiss is one of the great defensive bastions of Pep’s team. He will form in the axis of the rear.
DFC: Rúben Dias – His great ball handling and judgment when distributing the game make him one of the keys to developing the coach’s tactical idea.
LI: Josko Gvardiol – The young Croatian is at a high level and is climbing high on the field, reaching goal position and collaborating with the team’s search for numerical superiority when he turns to the attack. He scored for the Premier League last Saturday.
MC: Rico Lewis – The 19-year-old footballer is one of the players with the most future prospects: at his young age he is considered by Pep Guardiola as an important piece in his team.
MC: Mateo Kovacic – He rose to the occasion in the last few games, replacing Rodri, a candidate for the Ballon d’Or and a key player in both Manchester City and the Spanish National Team.
MCO: Bernard Silva – With exquisite footing and judgment, the Portuguese is one of the leading voices of City’s attack.
MCO: Ilikay Gündogan – He returned in this summer transfer market from Barcelona and proved to be fit to play with Pep’s intense proposal.
MCO: Jack Grealish – Explosive on the field and challenging with rivals, the winger brings good football and personality to the citizen team.
DC: Erling Haaland – The name itself says it all. The most lethal scorer in the Premier League and one of the main scorers in the world. Although he looked a bit uncomfortable against Inter Milan, he is in a great moment and is a scoring machine.
