Manchester City FC and FC Shakhtar Donetsk both opened Group F with fine wins, although the portents point to a home victory at the City of Manchester Stadium on matchday two.• While these teams have never met before, Shakhtar have lost all but one of their matches in England and may have their work cut out against a City side who equalled their biggest win in the UEFA Champions League – group stage to final – in their first game.

Alex Marquez: “The last lap was incredible!”
Alex Marquez (EG 0,0 Marc VDS) has gained some serious traction in 2017, taking a home win in Jerez before fighting for the same in Mugello, completing the podium. Arriving into his home Catalan GP, the ‘Pistolas’ had form at the track and the form bore fruit: looking like the man to beat from the start of the weekend, Marquez put it on pole and then shot away into the distance in a near-perfect Moto2™ masterclass.
