What’s Hot and What’s Not from Manchester City’s season so far

HOT – Man City 3-1 Barcelona

City’s Champions League qualification hopes were hanging by a thread when they went a goal down at home to Barcelona on November 1, with Lionel Messi giving Luis Enrique’s men a 21st-minute lead.

However, what was to come was arguably the best display the Citizens have produced under Guardiola, as they came from behind to win 3-1 and all but seal their place in the last 16.

They were given a helping hand at the end of the first half, when Sergi Roberto’s error allowed Sergio Aguero to find Raheem Sterling, who then crossed for Ilkay Gundogan to slot home.

After that though, it was all City, who went ahead through Kevin De Bruyne’s excellent free-kick, and then continued to create opportunities before Gundogan sealed the victory with his second 16 minutes from time.

City were absolutely sensational going forward and caused Barca no end of problems on what was surely their best night in the Champions League (although the 5-3 victory over Monaco on Tuesday may be up there!).
