The specter of a glory elimination in the round of 16 against Real Madrid flew.
Manchester City Takens this new Champions League campaign with long teeth and a new look workforce. The training of Pep Guardiola must send positive signals from this league phase to avoid a journey as laborious as last season. It will start this Thursday evening with this shock against Naples (kick -off at 9 p.m.).
A match that will necessarily have a special flavor for Kevin de Bruyne. A real legend of Man City and the Premier League, the Belgian playmaker put an end to his adventure in the north of England to take the direction of the south of Italy. All the spotlights will be on “KDB”, even if the alumni of the United Rival, Mctuminay and Höjlundwill also be players to watch very closely. For his first with City in C1, Gianluigi Donnarumma will surely be asked.
The expected compos
Manchester City: Donnarumma – Khusanov, dias, Gvardiol, O'Reilly – Rodri – Silva, Foden, Reijnders, Doku – Haaland.
Naples: Milinkovic-Savic-Di Lorenzo, Beukema, Buongiorno, Spinazzola-Lobotka-Politano, Anguissa, de Bruyne, Mctominay-Höjlund.
