In the UEFA Europa League Group G match in the early hours of Wednesday morning (20), Manchester City rallied to win 3-1 at home against Red Star Belgrade, a good start to their defense of the title. However, City also paid a price in this game, the Portuguese midfielder Benedict Schwarz was injured, and the leader of the team, Gordiona, confirmed that he would have to shake for "a few weeks", which makes the team lineup "have trouble".
Manchester City is still suffering from numerous injuries and will only have 8 reserves (12 at most), 2 of which will be Dragons. The "Blue Moon" had the upper hand in the first half, scoring more than 20 times, but Bernardo Schwarz was injured in the 44th minute, and lost the first half of the match before going down 0-1, which was beyond imagination.
City's dominance returned in the second half, with Zulian Ivaris equalizing 2 minutes after the change of sides, and the Argentine striker adding a second in the 60th minute, along with UEFA finalist Lodi Kaskjandi in the 73rd minute, leading City to a 3-1 win. In the other match of the same group, RB Leipzig won 3-1 against Young Boys and tied with City at the top of the table.
