However, RB Leipzig quickly equalized through Christopher Nkunku just four minutes later.

From there, it was all City, as they scored three more goals before half-time, with Riyad Mahrez, Jack Grealish, and Joao Cancelo all getting on the scoresheet.

RB Leipzig started the second half brightly and managed to score two goals in quick succession, with Nkunku grabbing his second of the night and Amadou Haidara getting on the scoresheet.

However, any hopes of a comeback were quickly dashed as Gabriel Jesus scored City's fifth goal in the 53rd minute, before substitute Fernandinho added a sixth late on.

Despite the victory, City manager Pep Guardiola will be concerned with the three goals his side conceded

However, the performance of Mahrez, Grealish, and Cancelo will certainly please the City boss, as his side looks to go one step further than last season and lift the Champions League trophy.
