Manchester City began their Champions League campaign with a 2-0 win over Napoli on Thursday night.
The Premier League side struggled to break down Antonio Conte’s men until Giovanni Di Lorenzo was sent off.
Di Lorenzo was shown a straight red card for a last-man tackle on Erling Haaland.
It was Haaland who opened the scoring in the second half, heading home Phil Foden’s pass.
Jeremy Doku produced a moment of individual brilliance to double their lead.
On his return to England, Marcus Rashford scored a brace as Barcelona beat Newcastle United 2-1 at St James’ Park.
Anthony Gordon’s late strike was merely a consolation.
