Manchester City have concluded their training ground preparations ahead of their third UEFA Champions League clash of the ongoing campaign.
Pep Guardiola’s side remain unbeaten in the competition heading into matchday three, but have already dropped points in a league phase format that caused them significant difficulties across the course of its first iteration last season.
City got their run of eight fixtures off to the perfect start on matchday one by dismissing of 10-man Napoli at the Etihad Stadium thanks to goals from the ever-prolific Erling Haaland and Jeremy Doku, on a night that saw Kevin De Bruyne’s return cut short in the first-half.
An opening night at home was then followed by a trip away to the south of France, as Erling Haaland notched twice against AS Monaco before Eric Dier would equalise for the hosts in the closing exchanges from the penalty spot as the contest concluded as a 2-2 draw.
Across competitions, Manchester City are unbeaten since the end of August establishing a run of eight matches without defeat and recording significant wins over the likes of Manchester United at home and Brentford away in that time.
Now, as City finalise their preparations for matchday three of their league phase adventure in the latest edition of the UEFA Champions League, here is the complete list of players spotted on the City Football Academy pitches from the first 15 minutes of the session!
