Guardiola Kept intact his eleven in spite of the numerical inferiority until the minute 64, when it resorted to Haaland and Phil Foden in place of Álvarez and Jack Grealish for destrabar the crash.

The 'whites' took refuge in field suitable for expecting the opportunity of contragolpear, but the siege of the City was total in the last 15 minutes. This yes, without too much clarity. In the final stretch, the tie seemed sentenced, more still when the VAR cancelled a so much to the Norwegian by offside. Nevertheless, it appeared the wit of Kevin of Bruyne and the opportunism of Haaland to leave the triumph home.
