Preview followed by live coverage of Tuesday's Champions League game between Manchester City and Red Star Belgrade.
"Every season we start the competition in the first game with the target to win the first game, then the group stage, then try to win the Champions League," said boss Pep Guardiola."The same for Red Star tomorrow [Tuesday]. It depends on our performance and our level. We're incredibly happy to defend this crown but this competition doesn't allow you mistakes.
"But always we were so strong at home, nine points from nine. When that happens you can win just one game away and you qualify. Tomorrow is the first step." Red Star won last season's Serbian title without losing a game, but they changed managers this summer and have lost two of their last three games under Barak Bakhar.
