Manchester City

Pep Guardiola and Manchester City begin their latest bid for Champions League glory at Sevilla.

There's a debut for Manuel Akanji and a full debut for Sergio Gomez in the back four, with Kyle Walker and John Stones absent through injury. It's an inviting cross and Haaland thrusts out a leg at the back post for his 11th of the season and 24th in 20 Champions League appearances. Grealish seems to really like the look of Navas and shimmies inside again to tee up his team-mate. His shots might be all over the shop at the moment but his radar for a final ball is unwavering. Mir makes a bit of a nuisance of himself in the City box but Guardiola's men are able to break. All hands to the pump as Papu Gomez fouls Silva on the edge of his own box. Suso lifted it in with Ederson out of his ground, but the City keeper got a slight shove in the back from Dolberg as he attempted to throw it out. It results in his namesake Papu having Sevilla's best chance of the night, but he hacks a bouncing ball over. A goal and a couple of assists amount to a solid if not spectacular start to the Premier League season from Foden. 51st minute: Now Cancelo has a go and scuffs wide from outside the box. 73rd minute: Alvarez is quickly into the thick of things, finding De Bruyne for a left-footed strike that's deflected behind. There's a long way to go in this Champions League campaign but City are off and running in emphatic fashion.

Erling Haaland could be the signing that finally turns Manchester City into a European champion for the first time. However, for the team's first group game ...

Even in a normal season, when the Champions League round-of-16 pairings would be made in mid-December, club executives at the draw at UEFA headquarters would refuse to crow about being paired with an opponent then under-achieving domestically. The first trading period after a World Cup often is fueled by demand for less-heralded players who stood out on the global stage. For teams off to a poor start in domestic leagues, the Champions League offers no respite with two games by Sept. The schedule offers little time to put things right but plenty of time to reflect later during a midseason pause for the competition that will last more than three months. 14, the Champions League resumes with a knockout phase lasting almost four months. Leverkusen goes to Club Brugge in Group B on Wednesday. Leipzig hosts Shakhtar Donetsk on Tuesday in Group F and goes to defending champion Real Madrid next week. Sevilla has it toughest, hosting Manchester City in Group G on Tuesday. Leaving out Haaland will not be easy for Guardiola, with his new striker having already scored 10 goals in his first six Premier League games. fuboTV is [offering new subscribers a free trial](https://www.fubo.tv/stream/soccer/?irad=356358&irmp=1810038), while [Paramount+ also offers a risk-free 7-day free trial](https://www.paramountplus.com/account/signup/plan/), as well.

Erling Haaland continued his free-scoring start to life at Manchester City with two more goals in a 4-0 win over Sevilla in Champions League Group G on ...

Another battle against Tottenham and hopefully we can continue," the Spanish coach said. "I think his numbers in all his career, even in previous teams, is quite similar. I think the way he has adapted to us is really good but obviously, outside of the goal scoring there's another part of the game and that is more tough to adapt to. At the moment he's scoring the goals," said De Bruyne. Register now for FREE unlimited access to Reuters.com He has an incredible sense of goal.

Pep Guardiola's Manchester City got off to a winning start in their Champions League campaign thrashing La Liga side Sevilla 4-0.

Played a fantastic reverse ball into De Bruyne for the 'pre-assist' of the first goal and took his goal incredibly well, showing fantastic composure to toy with Gudelj in the box before drilling his shot between the Serbian's legs and into the bottom corner. The second came thanks to more brilliant movement, with the striker peeling off the back of the Sevilla defence before Foden's shot was palmed into his path to tap in. The England man also played a key role in the third goal as it was his shot that was parried by the keeper into Haaland's path. The man is a born goal scorer. Hard to think of anything the Spaniard did wrong in the game. Capped off a good performance with a goal when he found himself on the end of a Joao Cancelo cross. He wasn't heavily involved in the game but he doesn't need to be when his movement is as good as it is. The Norwegian barely had a touch in the game before he slid in his first goal of the match after finding himself unmarked at the back post. Looks like another fantastic piece of recruitment from Txiki Begiristain. Was far from his best tonight in terms of his passing and shooting but still provided a fantastic assist for Haaland's first goal with a brilliant cross into the back post for the Norwegian to slide home. Came close to opening the scoring early on when he cut in off the left and dragged a shot wide, wasn't highly involved in any of City's chances but linked well with his other forward players. Kept his side ticking over and did everything needed of him in a defensive sense and finished the game with a pass accuracy of 98%.

El conjunto de Pep Guardiola venció a domicilio al cuadro andaluz en el arranque del Grupo G | Deportes UEFA Champions League | TUDN Univision.

El noruego dejó la cancha a los 70 minutos para dar juego a Julián Álvarez. El resultado coloca al Manchester City en lo más alto del grupo y sostendrá su siguiente juego en contra del Borussia Dortmund el próximo 14 de septiembre, mientras que el Sevilla hará lo propio enfrentándose al Copenhague el mismo día. El partido se fue al descanso con la mínima diferencia pero en la parte complementaria aceleró ligeramente el paso el cuadro de la Premier League y anotó su segundo tanto

Los ingleses golearon 0-4 a los andaluces; Phil Foden y Ruben Dias completaron la cuenta para un visitante que fue muy superior.

Match report as Erling Haaland shone on first European appearance for City; he has now scored 25 goals in just 20 Champions League appearances.

Eventually, the ball found Foden and he could have slipped in Haaland, who was again in space, but he reversed a quality finish into the far corner. If he can adjust to the way we play there, then the level is going to go up. "I think the way he has adapted to us is really good. Haaland stretched out his athletic frame and poked the ball home from close range for his 11th goal of what has been a remarkable start to his City career. There should have been more in Seville but his team-mates, bar De Bruyne it seems, are still struggling to fire direct balls across the box or into Haaland's feet. The Norway striker has now scored 25 goals in just 20 Champions League appearances. Foden was involved in the third, and Haaland's second, when some more quick footwork set up a strike that Bono tamely parried clear straight into his path. As the play developed down the right edge of the box with Joao Cancelo, Haaland made three separate runs into pockets of space in the box and demanded the cross. Sevilla, who had lost three of their four La Liga games this season and looked devoid of any confidence, decided to throw on two attackers in the second half to try and push Man City back. City, who were at their slick best, made the game ultra-safe on 67 minutes when Haaland tapped home after Foden's shot was parried meaning the Norway striker has now scored 25 goals in just 20 Champions League appearances. He got his goal on 58 minutes when reversing a no-look finish into the far corner from the edge of the area. He partnered Ruben Dias with John Stones out injured and Sergio Gomez played down the left.
