After a bleak start for the season, City is looking to return to at least somewhere near their best. After sweeping Chelsea in the Premier League last week, the Pep Guardiola team survived a intimidation to beat Bruges in the Champions League on Wednesday evening and secured its place in the match exit in the knockout.
City succeeded in tonight thanks to Rafael Onidika's goal immediately before the break, but the goals of the second half of Matteo Kovagic and Savinho, as well as a special goal from Joel Ordonz won 3-1.
“In the second half, we raised our soul and our hearts were free,” Guardiola said after the match. “For today, we are in the next round, that is good. The first half was very academic, and we had no spark to do this against a team defending well.”
