Manchester City continued their unbeaten run in the Champions League (3 wins, 1 draw). On the occasion of the reception of Borussia Dortmund, this Wednesday evening, the Citizens largely won 4-1.

Jostled at the start of the game, the Mancunians rectified their situation and ended up suffocating their opponents. Foden first showed the way (22^e), before treating himself to a double (56^e). In the meantime, Haaland scored his 5^e
goal of the season in C1 (28^e).

Cherki joins the party

Anton reduced the score for BVB (72^e), before the entry of Rayan Cherki… Launched by Pep Guardiola ten minutes from the end, the former Lyonnais also took part in the festival. After piercing the German defense, the international finished perfectly with a shot curled into the side net (90^e+1).

With this success, the Skyblues move into 5th place in the standings, one point ahead of PSG. Dortmund is 14th.
