Form guide Manchester City • In 2020/21 City ended a run of three successive quarter-final eliminations by going all the way to the UEFA Champions League final only to lose 1-0 to Chelsea at Porto's Estádio do Dragão on 29 May. • City had beaten Borussia Mönchengladbach (2-0 a, 2-0 h), Borussia Dortmund (2-1 h, 2-1 a) and Paris Saint- Germain (2-1 a, 2-0 h) en route to the final. They had finished first in Group C with 16 points, keeping five clean sheets and conceding only one goal – equalling the UEFA Champions League group stage record. • The goal scored by Dortmund's Marco Reus in the 84th minute of last season's quarter-final first leg ended City's run without conceding a UEFA Champions League goal at 790 minutes, since Luis Díaz's 14th-minute opener for Porto on Matchday 1. The record for the competition, set by Arsenal in 2005/06, is 995 minutes, with City now second in the all- time rankings having moved above Juventus (690 minutes). • Champions of England for the seventh time in 2020/21, their third title in four seasons, City also claimed the English League Cup for the fourth season in a row and the eighth overall, equalling Liverpool's competition record. • This is the Cityzens' 11th UEFA Champions League campaign; they have been involved in the group stage every season since 2011/12 and have reached the round of 16 in eight successive campaigns. • City took on German opponents in both the round of 16 and quarter-final last season, winning all four games. The 2- 1 win against Dortmund in the quarter-final first leg was the Cityzens' seventh successive home victory against Bundesliga teams; a 3-1 defeat by Bayern München in 2013 is their sole loss to German opposition in Manchester (W9 D2). • A 1-1 draw in Mönchengladbach in November 2016 is the only one of City's last 13 matches against German clubs they have failed to win, stretching back to a 1-0 loss at Bayern in September 2014. Leipzig • This is Leipzig's fourth UEFA Champions League group campaign, all in the last five seasons. • Semi-finalists in 2019/20, a team coached by Julian Nagelsmann again reached the knockout stages last season, beating Manchester United 3-2 on Matchday 6 to secure second place in Group H behind Paris Saint-Germain. Leipzig picked up 12 points, level with Paris but behind the French club on head-to-head record.
