Football - Champions League - Group G - Manchester City v Crvena Zvezda - Etihad Stadium, Manchester, Britain - September 19, 2023 - REUTERSPIX: Holders Manchester City recovered from falling a goal behind to outclass Red Star Belgrade 3-1 in their Group G opener with Julian Alvarez scoring twice at The Etihad on Tuesday.
A misjudgement by Red Star keeper Omri Glazer allowed an Alvarez cross to go into the net on the hour and Rodri made it 3-1 with a clinical finish after 73 minutes as City made it 19 home wins in succession in all competitions. “We played really, really good but we were not able to score goals. We were consistent and in the end we won the game.”
Red Star keeper Glazer was superb in the first half, denying Phil Foden from close range and also keeping out efforts by Nathan Ake and Rodri. The 3,000 travelling Belgrade fans celebrated and City could hardly believe it as they headed off at halftime.
