As much as City were brilliant in the home game, they were comfortably beaten at the Nou Camp a few weeks before.

Guardiola, on his return to the Spanish club, would have been reasonably satisfied with his side’s first half display, but they sloppily conceded to Messi 17 minutes into the contest.

And more defensive errors were to follow in the second half, with Claudio Bravo involved in a moment of madness which saw him sent off, and City guilty of losing possession prior to Messi’s second on the hour.

The Argentine completed his hat-trick eight minutes later after more sloppy City play, and Neymar added a fourth late on.

It was a ruthless display from Enrique’s side and, at the time, it left City in a precarious position, ahead of Monchengladbach by just a point after their win at Celtic Park.
