00:00THE CHAMPIONS!
00:05As we welcome you to Thursday at Champions League.
00:09Antonio Conte and Pep Guardiola, a pair of managers that have defined the modern era of football,
00:15winning so many trophies between the two of them.
00:18Rodri looks to be back to full fitness, your 24 Ballon d'Or winner.
00:22Foden Reinders, really good movement in the midfield. Reinders fitting into Pep Guardiola's system.
00:27Big debut goal a week ago against Fiorentina.
00:30Antonio Conte said he's ready to go.
00:35As they're underway from the Etihad, match day one in the UEFA Champions League.
00:41Manchester City playing host to Napoli.
00:44Reinders one of the players that came in this summer with Doku.
00:49Drawing the attention of two.
00:51Space open for former City player Reinders who takes aim.
00:54Of course, is Milikovic Savic to parry that one over.
00:57Feeding him over the last couple of seasons in Milan from distance.
01:01Has the ability.
01:07Shoving there from Donnarumma on Hoyland.
01:09Trying to create that space as the cross comes in.
01:11And it was on! Saved from Donnarumma!
01:13We saw it on the weekend getting forward.
01:16Here he is just wrestling.
01:18And it looks like Hoyland there may be.
01:20The player called offside.
01:22Pucuma battling with Kusunov who doesn't even jump.
01:25Donnarumma had to go down to his right.
01:27Quick reflex save here by the big...
01:30Luis Enrique, their coach, saying he is 100% responsible for him going.
01:35As that will come for Erling Haaland.
01:37Challenges in as the last man.
01:39Did he win the ball, Di Lorenzo?
01:40That's what the referee Felix Zweier is saying.
01:43And I think Haaland thinks that should just be a card.
01:46It should be a red.
01:47Ball, I'm not quite sure if they would be able to determine.
01:50That one there for me is a foul.
01:53We had some pretty good angles unless they have a different angle.
01:56And here he goes.
01:58The referee is going to go to his back pocket and send off Giovanni Di Lorenzo.
02:02The captain for Napoli gets his marching orders for denial of an obvious goal-scoring opportunity.
02:09...will come and De Bruyne looks over towards the bench.
02:11Well, and he knows 25 minutes into his return to the Etihad.
02:16He is the player that is sacrificed.
02:18Gets a big ovation from this crowd that still loved him so,
02:21but not at all how he would have dreamt this going.
02:24No fault of his own.
02:25They need to get a defender on after the man sent off,
02:28but De Bruyne off for Matias Oliveira.
02:30Rodri and Reinders in towards Doku.
02:33Appeals for offside will come.
02:35Flag won't arrive as yet.
02:38Reinders crossing in towards Haaland!
02:43Couldn't keep it down.
02:44Here for Manchester City to continue to grow in their rhythm on the ball.
02:49Everyone will get a touch and finding an inch of space here is Erling Haaland.
02:54By the statistics, the best goalkeeper in Serie A last season, Fania Malinkovic Savic prevented 11 and a half goals.
03:04The expected goals measurement.
03:07Reinders, first time into Kusinov is crossed to Flexin.
03:14Comes back out again for Diaz.
03:16Rodri.
03:17Foden.
03:18Phil Foden!
03:19Phil Foden!
03:20Phil Foden!
03:22Struck it sweetly.
03:23Phil Foden, right?
03:24To be provider in a different way than Kevin De Bruyne did it over the years.
03:28With enough talent obviously here.
03:31Bernardo Silva bending in and ball one from Bukumov.
03:36On the volley is Rodri!
03:38Good save.
03:39Struck it well and denied by Malinkovic Savic.
03:41Doku is offside.
03:42About it.
03:43This is a really good save.
03:45Comes initially.
03:47There's a cross in and first time here.
03:50O'Reilly may be called offside.
03:53Rodri though getting through the middle of this one to that near post.
03:58Napoli surviving.
04:01With this disadvantage.
04:04Foden's corner.
04:07Malinkovic Savic punches again.
04:08Rodri controlled that second ball.
04:11Unable to steady himself to strike.
04:15Reinders.
04:17Wide for Bernardo Silva.
04:22Plenty of numbers staying for O'Reilly.
04:24Down and Malinkovic Savic again tipping beyond the post.
04:27Another big save by Rania Malinkovic Savic.
04:34This one actually might have even been going wide of the post.
04:37We'll have a better look here.
04:42Corner returns.
04:43And another save from Malinkovic Savic.
04:45This time from Gavardio.
04:47Foden back into Ruben Diaz.
04:49And it deflects away.
04:51Rodri off of Hoyland.
04:53Shouts for handball.
04:54Kusunov taking aim.
04:55A big block in there.
04:57But what a performance from the Napoli goalkeeper.
05:00This one more difficult than the last one here.
05:03In my opinion.
05:05Doku.
05:09Rodri.
05:10Gavardio.
05:11With his weaker right from longer distance.
05:16Yeah, he was here.
05:17Doesn't look like he gets a good view.
05:19You can see how many bodies are in front of him.
05:21He's got a little topspin.
05:23Ruben Diaz thought about shooting again.
05:25Gives to his Portuguese teammate Bernardo Silva.
05:28Turning the other way.
05:30And again.
05:31Setback for Reyners.
05:32Towards that bottom corner.
05:34Almost turning goalwards for Politano.
05:36Who celebrates his clearance.
05:38Politano somehow makes a read at the back post.
05:42Look at the movement from him.
05:43Deal with one more set piece.
05:46City looks solid for them tonight.
05:48Voden driving in low.
05:49Comes all the way through.
05:50And Holland redirected it.
05:52But unable to do so on target.
05:54Well, how does this get through to that near post?
06:00Erling Holland made that run in front of.
06:03That line of defenders.
06:17Approaching halftime Antonio Conte.
06:19Will be pleased with the defensive performance.
06:24From his team.
06:25After going down a man.
06:28As there is the halftime whistle.
06:30Manchester City nil.
06:31Napoli nil.
06:32Do they change things up?
06:35Or do they lean even further into the Guardiola way?
06:37Toku.
06:38Into Phil Foden.
06:39Foden!
06:40Dragged his effort wide.
06:42It was well controlled.
06:44Ponaruma.
06:45Finding the pass.
06:46Out.
06:47Come under the microscope in those moments.
06:48As.
06:49Kusanov.
06:50Was waiting for it to come to him.
06:51As.
06:52Olivera was more aggressive in getting to the ball.
06:57He's come off and last enough for the throw.
07:00O'Reilly.
07:01Well found from the throw in.
07:02O'Reilly.

07:58You know how to find the back of the head. How about the ball?
08:02threading the needle from Phil Foden
08:06Foden will just let it run and Bernardo Silva will pick up
08:12Gonzalez O'Reilly
08:15Nice turn the other way from Toku. Still Toku goes! Jeremy Toku!
08:26All about the individual skill of Jeremy Toku
08:30Who's starting to find his way at Manchester City
08:35Guardiola
08:37He's been unleashed look at him in the middle of the field not where he generally operates
08:42He and Reinders and when he gets in these tight spaces here look at the number of
08:47Napoli players as he
08:49Splits the wickets here on Malikovic Savic who's been outstanding tonight, but
08:54Vukama and company cannot deal with Toku in the box
08:59And he buries this one
09:05To put the home side up by two we got to trust them the guys won everything
09:08And there is the full-time whistle
09:13Manchester City get the job done against 10-man Napoli Giovanni Di Lorenzo sent off in the first half
09:19World of War
