City have hit the ground running with the help of Haaland in attack. The Norwegian has already bagged 10 Premier League goals this season.
Champions League football returns to the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán tonight as Sevilla welcome Manchester City to the Andalusian capital. The Brazilian midfielder spent two seasons with tonight’s opponents. He has experience facing Sevilla, scoring four in two round of 16 games in the 2020-21 edition of the tournament with Borussia Dortmund.
Pep Guardiola and his star-studded Manchester City squad begin their Group G campaign at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan Stadium.
There is no better crosser of the ball in the world. A few minutes to go before half-time and one or two meaty challenges have flown in. In the right place. He indentifies the danger and the two defenders are not able to do that. At the right time. Who gets the ball? Back then, it was seen by many as a sign he still needed to adapt to his new surroundings. Erling Haaland (2) predictibly made his mark while Phil Foden was also on the scoresheet for City tonight. It's no less than City deserve and it was a comfortably evening for them. This is a real chance to show what he can do against an opponent a step up from Forest. I think we have all been there when you play in Europe and are expected to get a result but all of a sudden, you don’t apply yourself and then you come unstuck. [City](https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/all-about/manchester-city-fc) made it to the semi-finals last term where they came unstuck against eventual winners Real Madrid.
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.
Sevilla host Manchester City in the opening round of this season's Champions League group-stage on Tuesday evening.

City remain hot in their pursuit of a maiden Champions League title in Pep Guardiola's seventh season at the Etihad Stadium.

Erling Haaland's double in his Champions League debut with Manchester City. Resounding victory for the English team at the Sánchez-Pizjuán.
The Champions League season 2022-2023 kicks off today, and Sevilla and Manchester City will see action on Matchday 1 corresponding to Group G, where they share it with the Germans Borussia Dortmund and the Danes FC Copenhagen. Matchday 1 of the UEFA Champions League 2022-2023 has begun and this afternoon, the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán stadium will witness the clash between Sevilla and Manchester City. However, the club led by Julen Lopetegui has not had a good start in its local league and has only been able to take one point out of a possible twelve, something not common for the Sevillian team. They reached the Champions League after being crowned champions of the Premier League last season. As they belong to different leagues, the history of clashes between Sevilla and Manchester City is short and favors the English. A very complete striker Manchester City has in its ranks. On the other hand, Manchester City will be without Walker and Stones due to injuries. This 25-year-old Spanish striker, despite his young age, has already played for several teams in the Premier League and LaLiga, so he can be a decisive player who can unbalance the opponent and lead his team to the front. Erling Haaland is none other than the Norwegian player from Borussia Dortmund who arrived in Manchester to reinforce Pep Guardiola's forward line. Follow along with us all the details, commentaries, analysis and lineups for this match. It is a home soccer stadium owned by Club Sevilla and is located in the city of Seville, Spain. ON THE LINE!

Sevilla are far from their best form and, as long as they are still in the rebuilding phase, it will be difficult to expect sensational victories, at least at the beginning of the season. “We’re focused on the next game and we’re facing a top-class team, one of the best in the world, Haaland makes them more complete, but if we start to talk about City we won’t finish. Just the No 9 opened the scoring in the encounter, but it was [Leon Bailey](https://www.instagram.com/leonbailey/), who managed to equalise. However, the integration of [Tanguy Nianzou](https://www.instagram.com/t.nianzou/) from [Bayern](https://fcbayern.com/) (€16.00m) and [Marcao](https://twitter.com/teixeira_marcao) from [Galatasaray](https://www.galatasaray.org/) (€12.00m) is still “creaking”, time is needed. Only thanks to the setbacks of other major rivals, Pep Guardiola is still in the game. We’ve earned the right to be here and we want to enjoy it by playing well.” [Jules Kounde](https://www.instagram.com/jkeey4/) and [Diego Carlos](https://www.instagram.com/d.carlos03/), who were in essence the backbone of the Spaniards’ defensive system. - With Pep Guardiola at the helm, Manchester City have won five of their six Champions League starts. In the current Champions League draw, Julen Lopetegui’s team’s prospects do not look better, to say the least. Los Hispalenses, who finished fourth in the last campaign, suffered a dreadful start to the season. One of the most interesting matches in the first leg of the Champions League group stage is set to take place in Sevilla. Guardiola continues to dream of winning the UEFA Champions League with his men.
