DBasia.news – Manchester City has become one of the teams that have confirmed tickets to the last eight of the 2018-19 Champions League. No half-hearted, Man City escaped with a 10-2 aggregate goal over Schalke.
Winning 3-2 on aggregate from the first leg in Germany, The Citizens crushed Schalke with a score of 7-0 through two goals from Sergio Aguero, Leroy Sane, Raheem Sterling, Bernardo Silva, Phil Foden, and Gabriel Jesus.
The victory, without reducing respect for Schalke, was predicted. Man City always play offensively and dominate possession under Pep Guardiola. The final score that is already normal is seen every time Man City plays.
“I want us to play as usual in the first 25 minutes, but we remain solid, we did not suffer opportunities and in the last 15 minutes (before halftime) and in the second half it was really good,” Guardiola said at Guardian.
“Schalke are in a difficult period, they lost (in four) the last game and their confidence are not at the top, but you have to do your job and we have done it. I am really happy to be in the quarter-finals.”
A series of records accompany the escape of Vincent Kompany et al to the Champions League quarter-finals. One such note, which the other team did not have, was the aggregate of the biggest goals that the English team ever recorded in the knockout stages of the Champions League.
