It didn’t take long for last week’s six-goal thriller to come to life.
One minute and 48 seconds to be exact, when Bernardo Silva surprised Andriy Lunin with a well-struck free kick.
But City’s lead did not last long as, exactly 10 minutes later, Eduardo Camavinga saw his shot deflected from outside the area onto Stefan Ortega’s wrong foot and level the scores. And another deflected goal, in the 14th minute, from Rodrygo turned the match around after a good selection from Vinicius Junior.
Chances came and went for Carlo Ancelotti’s side before Phil Foden fired a perfect left-footed strike into the top corner to make it 2-2.
Enough drama? No.
Josko Gvardiol then scored another brilliant goal, his first for City, to turn things around for a second time before a sublime Fede Valverde volley ensured the second leg would be level.
