Julian Alvarez scored twice as Manchester City defeated Red Star Belgrade 3-1 in their Champions League opener at Etihad stadium.
Osman Bukari had given Red Star the lead before halftime before Alvarez struck after the break. His double was followed by Rodri netting City's third to settle the game.
Later, City manager Pep Guardiola said: "The last two games I didn't know how many chances we missed.
"We played really really good but we were not able to score goals. We were consistent and in the end we won the game.
"Having 22 shots on goal means you are playing really good. It has to be the responsibility of the people in front to have to score the goals. If we scored two goals early in the beginning it would've been completely different.
"We played like West Ham another fantastic game. We missed chances but we were able to create these many sorts of chances and we will win the games."
On his half-time team talk, he added: "I said 'guys, we cannot say we are playing bad. Forget the result, we are able to come back so go for it and be more calm'. We did it."
