Manchester City will try to collect their first European success this Tuesday at the home ground of the Slovak team in Bratislava.
Manchester City travel to Slovakia for the first time in their history to face Slovan Bratislava, who are making their Champions League debut this season. Pep Guardiola’s men are on a rare run of just one win in four games and surrendered first place domestically this weekend.
Man City wants to move forward
Life without Rodri for Manchester City began with a 1-1 draw at Newcastle United on Saturday. With this result, City’s only victory in their last four matches came against Watford (second division) in the EFL Cup midweek last year. The Sky Blues also narrowly avoided defeat against Arsenal. And they were also held to a draw by Inter Milan on the opening day of the Champions League.
Despite this worrying passage, City enter this match as big favorites and could equal the record of invincibility in the European Cup and the Champions League if they do not lose in this duel against Slovan. It would thus equal Manchester United’s streak of 25 matches without defeat, established between 2007 and 2009.
After being held to a draw at home by Inter at the opening of the championship phase, City should have the opportunity to launch their campaign and confirm that they are indeed one of the contenders to succeed Real Madrid.
