Already in the second half, City started sleeping and suffered more than necessary from the local team, who looked for an equalizer on several occasions. However, the Spanish coach moved the bench and changed the pace of the match.
First he took out Jack Grealish and Jeremy Doku, who were unable to unbalance on the wings, to bring in Haaland and send him to the double nine with Julián Álvarez.
And in a lethal attack, the Norwegian did not forgive. He received an assist from De Bruyne, shook off a defender and crossed a right hand before the goalkeeper came out.
