Manchester City are group leaders and they did it in style with 16 points. Highlighted by a Sergio Aguero return as he scored just 10 minutes into his long-awaited comeback.
Ferran Torres had put City ahead just after half-time and Raheem Sterling scored in added time, a great ending to the group stage.
A clean sheet, great performance and we move. On to the reaction-
Pep Guardiola Reaction
“No, today, he (Aguer) played 25 minutes, scored a goal – so it is step by step.”
“His instinct to score will always be there - he made three, four good sessions and after the training sessions reaction was good.”
“Yeah, I’m really happy,” he said.
“Especially the way we played, all the games, no exception.
“We scored goals, we conceded just one and in general it was a good performance.
“We are in the next round and we see the teams who have qualified are incredible.
“It will be an interesting draw. Hopefully, we can arrive in a good mood.”
