Pep Guardiola dropped a heavy hint that he is prioritising the Champions League by taking Erling Haaland off at half-time as Manchester City defeated Leicester 3-1.
Haaland had scored twice to put City two goals ahead against the Foxes at half-time. Guardiola's side travel to Bayern Munich on Wednesday for the second leg of their Champions League quarter-final clash, in which they hold a commanding lead.
But the Spaniard showed he will not be taking any chances in Germany by bringing off his star striker, despite him being on a hat-trick. His goals in the first-half took him to 32 in the Premier League this season, equalling Mohamed Salah's record for strikes in a 38-game campaign.
