In their first Group A match in the UEFA Champions League 2021-22, Manchester City will be up against the German team RB Leipzig on Thursday, September 16 (IST) at the Etihad Stadium. Both Man City and RB Leipzig will hope for a winning start to their European campaign as they have been placed in the Death Group and cannot afford any mishaps.
So far, Pep Guardiola’s charges have been on point as it has given him favourable results in the Premier League and he will hope to replicate the same in the UCL when Man City will play host to Leipzig.
On the other hand, RB Leipzig have been inconsistent in the initial stage of the Bundesliga and they are coming into this game after suffering a humiliating 1-4 loss at the hands of Bayern Munich over the weekend. However, they cannot yield a similar result against Man City if they hope to progress further in the European competition.
The match between Manchester City and RB Leipzig will kick off at 12:30 am (IST).
