CJ Egan-Riley Receives 7/10 From Man City Boss Pep Guardiola After Champions League Debut (unknown)

Pep Guardiola rated CJ Egan-Riley's Champions League debut as a solid 7/10 after watching him help Manchester City keep a clean sheet against Sporting ...

Carson sets Champions Leaguerecord as Man City held by Sporting (unknown)

And, with the England full-back still banned for one more game in Europe, the City manager was able to hand a European debut to teenage full-back Conrad Egan-Riley. With the outcome decided after City’s 5-0 win in Lisbon, it was a predictably uninspiring second leg. Pep Guardiola saw Manchester City coast into the Champions League quarter-finals with the minimum of effort although the nostalgic manager made sure it was an evening Scott Carson will never forget.

Man City barely break sweat in Champions League stroll (Irish Examiner)

Manchester City were hardly tested as they formally confirmed their place in the Champions League quarter-finals with a goalless draw against Sporting Lisbon.

Carson was almost immediately into the action, needing to save from Paulinho at point-blank range and taking a blow to the knee in the process. Mahrez raced into the area from a long ball and regained possession after being tackled to slip in Jesus on the right. Jesus did feel he should have had a penalty after a challenge by Manuel Ugarte, and he was also given nothing after a tackle by Luis Neto on the edge of the area.
