Man City hit three landmarks vs Sevilla as Karim Benzema record broken

Manchester City rounded off their Champions League group-stage campaign with a 3-1 win against Sevilla on Wednesday evening, although ultimately the final result mattered little.

City went in to half-time 1-0 down after Rafa Mir gave the Spanish side the lead, but a much-improved City turned things around in the second half with goals from Rico Lewis, Julian Alvarez and Riyad Mahrez.

City went into the game having already secured top spot in Group G and a place in the last-16, and with Sevilla guaranteed of a third-place finish no matter the outcome, the meeting was essentially a dead-rubber. The match was far from insignificant though, as City's players reaching a handful of milestones and landmarks while the Blues equalled a record that has stood for 13 years.
