Manchester City vs. Crvena zvezda live stream: How to watch UEFA Champions League online, TV, prediction, odds

After finally winning the UEFA Champions League for the first time last season, Manchester City are preparing to do so all over again. Pep Guardiola's side will begin their European campaign against Serbia's Crvena zvezda, which will likely serve as the first of a few lopsided victories during the group stage for City. A victory on Tuesday will add to the narrative that the reigning champions are virtually unbeatable, and the bad news for everyone else is that Guardiola thinks a second Champions League win will be less difficult than the first.

"It'll be easier," he said on Monday, per Reuters. "The most difficult to win is the first one. It is incredible for us but it is just one."

Here's what to know before the match.

Storylines

To absolutely no one's surprise, City have a perfect 15 points out of 15 to start their Premier League season and already collected their first accolade with last month's UEFA Super Cup win. Another not so surprising stat? Erling Haaland already has seven goals in five league games, which only adds to the team's seemingly invincible status.
