On a Wednesday of intense emotions in the Champions League, Group G reached the final day of the first stage with everything decided. Manchester City visit Red Star in Belgrade with the aim of sealing complete victories while Leipzig, with second place already in its bag, will end its journey in the group stage against Young Boys from Bern (Switzerland). .
Pep Guardiola’s team will step into the Rajka Micic stadium with nothing at stake but honor and the financial prize of 2.8 million euros offered by UEFA for winning a match in the group stage. It is expected, therefore, that the Santpedor coach will use rotations to regulate a squad that is going through the most delicate moment of the season, fourth in the Premier League and four points behind the leader, Liverpool.
The big loss to the English team will once again be Erling Haaland, who has been ruled out with a bone stress problem. The City infirmary is completed by Doku, who will be out for the next two weeks due to a muscle problem.
Lepizig, for its part, will want to end its trip to the group stage against Young Boys on a good note to jump to the round of 16 as one of the second-placed teams to avoid the draw. In its third participation in the Champions League, the Swiss team has already guaranteed its presence in the knockout phase of the Europa League
