Dates and Times Announced for Group Stage Fixtures

Manchester City will kick off the defense of their UEFA Champions League title on September 6th, 2023, when they travel to Belgrade to face Crvena zvezda. The reigning Premier League champions are looking to become the first team to successfully defend the Champions League since Real Madrid in 2018.

City Faces Tough Draw

City's draw for this season's Champions League group stage is a tough one, with the English champions set to face last season's semi-finalists Inter Milan, as well as German giants Bayern Munich and Russian Premier League runners-up Zenit Saint Petersburg. However, City manager Pep Guardiola is confident in his team's chances, saying, "We are going to try to win every game, as we always do. We know it will be difficult, but we are ready for the challenge."
