After being the graveyard for their European hopes, the Jose Alvalade Stadium was Manchester City’s field of dreams last night.
City lost their two previous visits in the last 16 of the Europa League in 2012 and two years ago against Lyon in the Champions League quarters when the ground hosted the latter stages of the competition.
Pep Guardiola ’s side banished those ghosts in devastating fashion to show whey they are favourites to win a first Champions League.
