Julian Alvarez's double and Rodri's goal brought the Mistians three points.

In the first round of the group stage of the UEFA Champions League, Quartet G Manchester City hosted Crvena Zvezda.

In the first half, Josep Guardioli's team had as many as 22 shots on goal for the Serbian team, which was the highest number of any team in the 2003/04 season, but the Volodar team didn't manage to realize one chance before the break.

Moreover, Crvena Zvezda managed to shock Man Siti with a naked “at the crossroads” from the first try, but lost the only thing that the Serbians had against such a high-class opponent.

Already, the other half of the team had a double from Julian Alvarez and a goal from Rodri, which left them with all the money they needed to survive this match..
