What’s Hot and What’s Not from Manchester City’s Champions League campaign

HOT – Man City 3-1 Barcelona

On the back of being thumped in the Nou Camp, City produced a sensational performance, and arguably their best under Guardiola, to beat Luis Enrique’s side 3-1 at the Etihad on November 1.

Lionel Messi had put the visitors ahead midway through the first half, but a Sergi Roberto error allowed Sergio Aguero to regain possession in the attacking third, play in Raheem Sterling, who squared for Ilkay Gundogan to finish.

The game completely changed on that moment, and after that City were excellent.

Kevin De Bruyne’s free-kick gave the hosts the lead, and then Gundogan added his second 15 minutes from time to seal a famous win.

It’s a result that certainly announced City on the European stage and, coupled with Monchengladbach’s draw at home to Celtic, meant they were in pole position to qualify.
