The Citizen have performed at a really high level in Europe 

Manchester City’s 2-3 win against Red Star Belgrade in the Red Star Stadium on the sixth day of the 2023/2024 Champions League group stage, which the Citizen completed with an impressive game to seal an excellent baggage during that phase of the competition, where they have performed at a really high level.

In this sense, Pep Guardiola’s team, who are defending the title they won last year against Inter in Istanbul with a single goal by Rodri, have completed incredible numbers during the group stage of the tournament according to the data offered by the sporting data company Opta Sport in the last few hours.

Following this source, Manchester City got the highest xG during the six games played in the tournament, where they became the team with most goals, most shots and most shots on target, leading the race for being the dominant institution in the tournament thanks to players like Erling Haaland, Julian Alvarez, Foden and Doku, some of the stars developing really well for the Mancunian team.

They’re one of the toughest teams to beat

In addition, they were the team with most big chances created and most final-third passes, which would prove that the system set by Guardiola is ready to lead the competition. The Citizen completed the most through balls, most touches in the opposite box, most possession and fewest xG conceded, which surely will lead them to be one of the most dominant and toughest teams to beat in the competition.
