Ruben Amorim jokingly claimed a win over Manchester City in his final Sporting home game would see fans label him the “next Sir Alex Ferguson”, but he might have been onto something after watching his side dismantle the Premier League champions 4-1 in Lisbon.
It could have all been so different, with City utterly dominant for so much of the first half. They took the lead after just four minutes through Phil Foden, who smashed home another goal in the Champions League after Ousmane Diomande lost the ball playing out from the back.
