Manchester City continues. Four days after a first success against Wydad Casablanca, the Citizens asserted their rank against Al Ain. The meeting against the Emirati club turned to correction, the Skyblues winning 6-0 at the end of an obviously one-way match.

Eight minutes were enough for Pep Guardiola men to open the scoring. Announced leaving for Galatasaray, Ilkay Gündogan was the first scorer and even offered a double thanks to a new goal in the second period. Meanwhile, Claudio Echeverri and Erling Haaland, on penalty, had concretized the domination of the Mancunians.

And Manchester was still going to increase the note in the final minutes thanks to Oscar Bobb then Rayan Cherki. Passed through his first match in his new colors on Wednesday, the former Lyonnais this time started the meeting on the bench, coming into play to replace Bernardo Silva at the start of the last quarter of an hour.

Manchester City already qualified

But already involved in Oscar Bobb's goal a few minutes earlier, the tricolor international took advantage of an Erling Haaland service at the entrance to the surface to trigger an unstoppable cross shot flush with the post.

Thanks to this large victory, Manchester City has already validated its qualification for the knockout stages and will try to win first place in the group's final against Juventus, the old lady who is ahead of Citizens for the time being thanks to a better attack.
