Pep Guardiola declared his last trip to Dortmund as one of his best memories as Manchester City manager as the Blues finally broke through the barriers of three consecutive Champions League quarter-final exits.
Memories of this particular night at Signal Iduna Park will want to be forgotten quickly despite City securing the point they needed to confirm top spot for a sixth consecutive year. A tremendous achievement papers over an under-par performance that leaves questions about when several members of the team will and should start again.
City escaped with a 0-0 draw, shoring up sufficiently in the second half to avoid any complicated permutations that could have jeopardised their position as group winners and opened up a tougher draw for the second half. Even if it's the mark of a good team to get the results when not playing well, Guardiola will still want more.
