City have a tricky group tbh. But you wouldn't think they will have much problems.

Group B definitely is the group of death and Milan after a long return in the champions league will have a tough task to progress.

Breaking: Chelsea have asked @UEFA if they can play their #UCL tie vs. Real Madrid on the same date as #ManCity vs. Atletico Madrid. This is because they want to travel with @ManCity to Madrid in the same plane. @MarioCortegana
