Despite the scare Manchester City wins on debut
The defending champions faced a much smaller team in their debut. Even on a night when top scorer Haaland didn’t shine, the team scored 3-1 at Red Star.
But anyone who sees the score and believes it was easy is wrong, City came up behind on the scoreboard. Bukari opened the scoring for the Red Star team, even playing on City’s field.
