The second week of the Champions League returns with Premier League champions Manchester City welcoming German side Borussia Dortmund to the Etihad.
City got off to a perfect start in Europe’s elite competition last week with a 4-0 win against Sevilla in Spain.
A brace from Erling Haaland and goals from Phil Foden and Ruben Dias were enough to secure them a result that leaves them top of Group G.
It was another outstanding week for City’s Norwegian goal machine and his admirable Champions League record continued to improve.

Haaland has now scored 25 goals in only 20 games in the competition and has also bagged 10 goals already in the Premier League this season, so the Dortmund defenders will need to put in impressive performances to keep him quiet.
Edin Terzic’s side also looked extremely dangerous in the first gameweek, and Pep Guardiola will know they will provide a stern challenge.
Their 3-0 win over Copenhagen will have boosted the Bundesliga club’s confidence and has set up a tantalising clash against the champions of England.
