Manchester City appeared at the Red Bull Arena with a single mission: to win to climb to the top of Group G of the Champions League and remove the ghosts of defeat that have settled in the United Kingdom in recent weeks. The English team showed furious aggression from the first minute and opened the scoring thanks to the individual technique of Phil Foden, who surprised Janis Blaswich with a corner shot that went into the German goalkeeper’s left post.
The premature blow received made RB Leipzig react, which through the interventions of Yussuf Poulsen, Xavi Simons and Emil Forsberg tried to take the fight to the area protected by Ederson.
Only in the first scene of the complement did the homeowner manage to dismantle the last line of the Ciudadanos to achieve the tie. A perfect triangulation composed of David Raum, Yussuf Poulsen and Yussuf Poulsen allowed the Belgian scorer to run at full speed to the opposite goal and celebrate equality with a magnificent finish that was impossible for the Brazilian goalkeeper to stop. A great goal that brought uncertainty to the duel between the two top candidates to win the places for the round of 16.
Pep Guardiola found the solution on the substitute bench. The Catalan strategist sent Julián Álvarez onto the field to replace Phil Foden and six minutes from the end, the Spider exposed all of his talent. The Cordoban surprised the German defense with a display of his quality, improvising a masterpiece that gave the British team the victory. With the inside of his right foot, the former River Plate, world champion in Qatar, starred in the most beautiful conquest of the European day by resolving the clash with an exquisite shot that ended in the farthest corner of Janis Blaswich. Great goal.
Not satisfied with his conquest, the great figure of the day enabled Jeremy Doku in the second additional minute for the Belgian to seal the final 3-1 in foreign territory. A key victory for Manchester City to start thinking regarding the next stage of the continental competition, despite the fact that only two dates have passed. And the person most responsible for the Citizens’ ideal score in their area has his own name: Julián Álvarez.
