Match Facts
This is the third consecutive campaign RB Leipzig are facing Manchester City in the UEFA Champions League, with the German side remaining unbeaten in both of their home games so far (2-1 in 2021-22, 1-1 last season).
Manchester City have lost just one of their last 21 UEFA Champions League games against German sides (W16 D4), though that defeat did come at RB Leipzig in December 2021.
RB Leipzig faced holders Real Madrid in last season's UEFA Champions League group stages, winning 3-2 at home and losing 2-0 away. The only team to beat the holders of the competition in consecutive campaigns is Atlético de Madrid, who beat Barcelona in 2015-16 and Real Madrid in 2016-17.
Manchester City set a new record for shots from inside the box that Opta has on record (2003-04 onwards) in a UEFA Champions League match in their 3-1 win over Crvena Zvezda (28), while their 82 touches in the opposition box were the most by a side since Bayern Munich vs Viktoria Plzen in October 2013 (83).
RB Leipzig have only lost one of their last seven UEFA Champions League matches (W5 D1), although that was a 7-0 loss to Man City in March. The German side are looking to win their opening two group stage matches for the very first time.
Manchester City have lost just two of their last 30 UEFA Champions League group stage matches (W22 D6), one of which was at RB Leipzig in December 2021. Three of their last seven away group games have ended goalless, having not drawn 0-0 in any of their first 29 on the road before this run.
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has faced Marco Rose on four previous occasions, with all four coming in the UEFA Champions League within the last four seasons. Guardiola is unbeaten against the current RB Leipzig boss, winning three of the four matches (D1) and keeping a clean sheet in all three wins.
Julián Álvarez attempted eight shots and created seven chances against Crvena Zvezda, becoming only the third player on record (2003-04 onwards) to hit both totals in a single UEFA Champions League game, after Karim Benzema (v Shakhtar Donetsk in 2022) and Arjen Robben (v Chelsea in 2012).
After not scoring with any of his 19 shots (8 on target) for FC Salzburg in 12 appearances in the UEFA Champions League, Benjamin Sesko netted with his first attempt on target on his debut for RB Leipzig in the competition in their 3-1 win over Young Boys. He could become only the third Slovenian to score in consecutive appearances in the competition, after Zlatko Zahovic (1998/1999) and Josip Ilicic (2020).
Erling Haaland has scored 11 goals in just six appearances against RB Leipzig in all competitions, netting five times in Manchester City's 7-0 win against them in the UEFA Champions League last season. Indeed, he's scored more goals against RB Leipzig than any other opponent in his career with top-flight clubs so far.
