Phil Foden stole the show as Man City defeated Napoli 2-0 in their opening match of the Champions League. Pep Guardiola named an unchanged side from the weekend win over Manchester United as Gianluigi Donnarumma continued in goal and Rodri started in central midfield.
City started the better side and were handed a huge advantage as Napoli captain Giovanni Di Lorenzo was shown a red card when he tripped Erling Haaland on the edge of the box.
The Blues continued to dominate proceedings but struggled to create any clear opportunities and instead resorted to ambitious efforts from distance. Vanja Milinkovic-Savic produced a series of great saves to deny Rodri, Nico O'Reilly and Josko Gvardiol before Tijani Reijnders saw an effort stopped on the line.
City continued to dominate after the restart and finally took the lead when Haaland headed over the Napoli goalkeeper after an exquisite pass from Phil Foden. They continued to control the match and soon had a second when Jeremy Doku burst into the box on the left wing and fired a low effort across goal.
