Manchester City cruised into the quarter-finals of the Champions League with a spectacular victory over RB Leipzig that saw Erling Haaland score five in a performance which overshadowed Kevin De Bruyne’s brilliance.
City may have thought luck was against them early on when Ilkay Gundogan lifted a half-volley over the crossbar and Haaland had a prodded effort poked away by Janis Blaswich. But, a somewhat contentious VAR call awarded them a penalty and the Norwegian beautifully slotted it home to open the scoring.
