The Hindu  

Manchester City came from behind to make a winning start in Champions League Group C on Wednesday with a 3-1 victory over Porto at the Etihad Stadium. Sergio Agüero has now scored 40 Champions League goals in 72 games ⚽ #UCLpic.twitter.com/BbaTRcLuYS — UEFA Champions League October 21, 2020 "If I'm being honest we are struggling at the moment," said German midfielder Gundogan. "That is the challenge for this season, it's not going to end for a while" he added Porto grabbed the lead when City's Ruben Dias, a recent signing from Benfica, gave away the ball and Colombian winger Diaz cut in from the left, burst diagonally across the City defence and shot into the far bottom corner of Ederson's goal. Liverpool rides luck as own goal secures win at Ajax Liverpool beat Ajax Amsterdam 1-0 away with a fortunate own goal in its Champions League group-stage opener on Wednesday, riding on luck at times but still showing its title credentials. Yet Liverpool, who won its sixth Champions League title in 2019, still proved value for its victory, dominating possession and counter attacking at pace while keeping a clean sheet despite missing defensive talisman Virgil van Dijk, who suffered a serious knee injury at the weekend.
