When Pep Guardiola comes to picking his team for the league game with Fulham on Saturday, he can start with anyone who wasn't in the XI against Sevilla.
This will not greatly alarm the Manchester City manager, for this was always the plan. Topping the group with a game to spare allowed the opportunity to rest some players and prioritise the Premier League, and the sight of John Stones, Joao Cancelo, Rodri, Kevin De Bruyne and Bernardo Silva on the bench confirmed it.
But it should disappoint any of those who had intentions of earning a place against Fulham with a stellar performance in the Champions League that they were outshone by a 17-year-old even if Rico Lewis deserved every bit of the celebration for a dream goal on his full club debut.
