Kevin De Bruyne has admitted that Manchester City were far from their best against Borussia Dortmund.
City maintained their unbeaten start to the season and put themselves in a strong position to qualify for the Champions League knockout stages with a narrow 2-1 win over Dortmund on Wednesday night. It was far from a great display from the Blues, however, who were stifled by the resolute Bundesliga side and knocked off their usual game.
Dortmund deservedly took the lead when Jude Bellingham nodded in but going behind sparked City into life. John Stones dragged them level with a thunderous 25-yard drive before Erling Haaland grabbed the winner as he acrobatically turned in Joao Cancelo's wonderful pass.
