Man of the Match
Despite only coming on as a second-half substitute, my Man of the Match goes to Sterling.
The English winger scored the first and assisted the second, making a real difference following his introduction from the bench.

De Bruyne out, Aguero starts!
As expected, De Bruyne is ruled out through injury, with reports saying he's suffering from a groin strain.

Team news is in!
Man City XI: Ederson, Cancelo, Otamendi, Fernandinho, Mendy; Gundogan, Rodrigo, Silva, Mahrez, Bernardo; Aguero.
Dinamo Zagreb XI: Livakovic; Stojanovic, Theophile, Peric, Leovac; Moro, Ademi, Dilaver, Orsic; Dani Olmo, Petkovic.
Back closer to kick-off
I'll be back with more updates ahead of this tie closer to kick-off, including team news from 19:00 BST.
Predicted XI's
Man City predicted XI: Ederson; Cancelo, Otamendi, Fernandinho, Mendy; Rodri, B. Silva, D. Silva; Mahrez, Aguero, Sterling.
Dinamo Zagreb predicted XI: Livakovic; Stojanovic, Dilaver, Peric, Theophile-Catherine, Leovac; Orsic, Ademi, Moro, Olmo; Petkovic.
Team news
Ahead of this game, the Citizens knew they were going to be without Aymeric Laporte, Leroy Sane and John Stones due to injury.
Worryingly for the Blues, Kevin De Bruyne didn't train on Monday and is therefore very unlikely to be apart of the squad.
Nenad Bjelica has no problems with his squad, meaning the Croatians will be full strength at the Etihad.
Matchday one
In the first matchday in this group, City recorded a comfortable victory away at Shakhtar Donetsk, beating the Ukranian champions 3-0.
Despite Pep Guardiola's sides' emphatic victory, they do not sit top of the group due to Zagreb's 4-0 win over Atalanta B.C.
City will be favourites for this encounter, although will have to be aware of the threat Zagreb pose after their brilliant matchday one.
