Procedure and quarry – AS.com

Manchester City already closed it in Lisbon about a month ago. He did homework. It took them 45 minutes to score four goals and sentence the tie. Riyad Mahrez added a fifth, matching the 0-5 loss Sporting had conceded in their last appearance at this stage of the competition. In the 2008-09. Then, the Portuguese conceded the biggest win of the competition, a result that they will not want to repeat tonight. It’s all they have left (follow the game live on As.com).

Pep Guardiola’s men may take pity on Rúben Amorim’s men. The Catalan coach has several casualties, so he will have to pull from the quarry to complete the call. Opportunity for young citizens to continue showing themselves in the maximum continental club competition. That’s how Phil Foden started, and look at him now. Completely settled in the eleven of his lifelong team. Cole Palmer is on the same path, and he already knows what it means to score in the Champions League. The main novelties on this occasion will be the Brazilian attacker Kayky and the English defender Luke Mbete, 18 years old. Ilkay Gündogan, recovered from his injury, could return to the starting eleven.

The main doubt is on the right side. Walker is out and Cancelo is sick. Guardiola joked about putting Fernandinho there. He has already experimented with the Brazilian midfielder, placing him as a central defender in previous campaigns. With success. If he plays, he will make 100 appearances for Manchester City in the Champions League.
