Tuesday night’s exciting UEFA Champions League match saw Manchester City pull off an incredible comeback against RB Leipzig, winning 3-2 after trailing by two goals at halftime.
Leipzig wanted to show dominance in Group G even though they had already guaranteed a position in the UCL knockout stage.
Pep Guardiola’s team received an early warning from Xavi Simons, but Loïs Openda took advantage of careless defending to break the tie for Die Roten Bullen. With a very strong lineup, City appeared slow at first, maybe because they were confident about moving forward in the competition.
The tide turned in the second half as City fans came to life. Phil Foden orchestrated a resurgence, feeding Erling Haaland for a confident finish. A period of patient probing culminated in City drawing level through a well-worked passing move culminating in a Foden finish.
Substitute Fábio Carvalho had a goal disallowed for offside, and the narrow margin proved crucial as Foden played a pivotal role in a spectacular team goal, setting up Julián Álvarez to secure a late lead.
City’s eighth successive UCL home game with three or more goals showcased their offensive strength. The win cemented Group G standings, with Manchester City advancing as group leaders and Leipzig securing their spot as runners-up.
