Man City will look for a similar result to those achieved by Chelsea and Manchester United in their Champions League openers

MANCHESTER CITY get their Champions League campaign underway with a trip to Holland.

City's match against Feyenoord will be the first ever meeting between the two sides.

This is the first ever competitive encounter between Feyenoord and Manchester City.
Feyenoord have lost six of the last nine games they have played against English clubs in
all competitions (W2 D1).
Manchester City are winless in their two away games against Dutch opposition in all
competitions (D1 L1).
Feyenoord are making their 5th Champions League appearance – their first since 2002/03,
the third-most for a Dutch side after PSV (15) and Ajax (13).
Feyenoord have never made the knockout stages of the Champions League in their four
previous participations.
Feyenoord have won only two of their last 15 Champions League games (D6 L7).
This is Manchester City’s seventh consecutive Champions League participation. They
have made it past the Last 16 only once, it was in 2015/16 when they reached the semifinals
(knocked out by Real Madrid).

Manchester City have won none of their last six away games in the Champions League
(D3 L3), conceding 14 goals in the process.
None of Manchester City’s 36 Champions League group games have ended goalless.
They have also only kept five clean sheets in those 36 matches.
This is Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s first Champions League campaign as manager. The
Feyenoord boss won the competition as a player with Barcelona in 2006.
Sergio Aguero has scored in only two of his last 12 Champions League games (5 goals).
He is nevertheless Manchester City’s top scorer in the competition (22 goals in 40 games).
Pep Guardiola has won the Champions League on two occasions as a manager (2009 &
2011, both with Barcelona). A third trophy would equal Carlo Ancelotti and Bob Paisley’s
record.
Guardiola has reached the semi-finals in seven of his eight seasons as manager in the
Champions League but hasn’t made the final since 2011.#
