Man City name 21-man squad for Champions League group stages

Manchester City named a 21-man squad for the first stage of the Champions League when the transfer window shut last week.

Pep Guardiola and his players are looking to make club history by winning the competition for the first time, and have gone close in recent years with a 2021 final following up by an agonising semi-final defeat to Real Madrid back in May when they led by two goals going into the 180th minute of the tie.

City's squad has undergone significant change over the summer, with five significant first-team exits and six new faces coming into replace them. All of those new signings — Erling Haaland, Kalvin Phillips, Stefan Ortega, Sergio Gomez and Manuel Akanji — have been named in the Champions League squad and January buy Julian Alvarez is also there.
