The game was held at the Etihad Stadium, which is Manchester City’s home ground. Both teams were looking to start their Champions League campaign with a win and gain an early advantage in the group.
Final Result
Man city 7-0 RB Leipzig
Manchester City, who are one of the favourites to win the competition this season, started the game on the front foot. They dominated possession and created several chances in the first half. However, they were unable to convert any of their chances into goals. This was largely due to RB Leipzig’s excellent defensive display, with their goalkeeper Peter Gulacsi making some important saves to keep the scoreline level.
RB Leipzig, on the other hand, were happy to sit back and absorb the pressure from Manchester City. They looked to hit City on the counter-attack and were dangerous on the break. However, they too were unable to find the back of the net in the first half.
The second half started in a similar fashion, with Manchester City continuing to dominate possession and create chances. RB Leipzig, however, were growing in confidence as the game went on and started to push forward more. This led to a more open game, with both teams looking to attack.
Manchester City finally broke the deadlock in the 56th minute, with a goal from their star striker, Riyad Mahrez. He received the ball on the right-hand side of the box, cut inside onto his left foot, and curled a beautiful shot into the top corner of the net. It was a stunning goal that gave City the lead they deserved.
RB Leipzig tried to respond quickly and pushed forward in search of an equalizer. However, this left them exposed at the back, and Manchester City took advantage. In the 62nd minute, Jack Grealish played a brilliant through ball to Joao Cancelo, who slotted the ball past Gulacsi to make it 2-0 to City.
RB Leipzig continued to push forward and managed to pull a goal back in the 73rd minute through their striker, Andre Silva. However, it was too little too late, and Manchester City held on for a deserved 2-1 victory.
Overall, it was a good performance from Manchester City, who dominated the game and created several chances. RB Leipzig, on the other hand, put in a solid defensive display but lacked the cutting edge in attack. The result puts Manchester City in a strong position in their group, and they will be looking to build on this performance in their next Champions League game.
