Soccer: Champions League Group F

Manchester City’s Group F

Man City

Pep Guardiola has spent heavily to add more attacking punch to his side, with the craft of Bernardo Silva and the pace/power of both Kyle Walker and Benjamin Mendy at fullback.

Sergio Aguero will again be the main man in front of goal and they’ll hope to go deep into the competition - but against the very best, are they defensively sound enough?

Shakhtar Donetsk

Shakhtar were back on top in Ukraine last term and Daniel Fonseca’s side will once more call upon their usual mix of Eastern European obdurity at the back, and South American flair in attack.

Former Newcastle loanee Facundo ‘Chucky’ Ferreyra has started the new Ukrainian season well, while Darijo Srna is into his 15th season at the club.

Napoli

The Neapolitans cruised through the Playoff round, comfortably seeing off Nice 4-0 on aggregate - and it could have been 10.

Marek Hamsik directs operations, Lorenzo Insigne and Dries Mertens offer threat, they’re one of the most aesthetically pleasing sides across the continent.

Feyenoord

Surprise winners of the Dutch title, Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s men will be backed vociferously by the Rotterdammers in De Kuip.

Lost key man Dirk Kuyt to retirement, third looks to be their upper limit.
