Pep Guardiola said “We played very well so thanks to all the players for making me so happy. I hope the football will get better and better so all the fans in Manchester can come and see us. We need the stadium full to compete against the best teams in Europe.”
FT City 4-0 Gladbach
Masterclass.
Possibly? Probably
GOAL! Kelechi!
Iheanacho gets in on the action in stoppage time! 4-0.
Ice pack watch
Aguero has an ice pack on his thigh on the bench. No doubt precautionary given his second half display.
Versatile Kolarov
82mins: Aguero's race is run
Kelechi time after another (!) wonderful night for Aguero.
80mins: Gundogan subbed
Deserved ovation for Gundogan. What a debut. What a player.
Clichy is on in his place.
Easy
Assuming Barcelona are the favourites to win Group C - the games between City and Gladbach could be key to who goes through with the Catalan giants.
On the basis of this, City are in pole position to challenge Guardiola’s former club for the right to go through as group winners.
This has been as easy as you could imagine in the Champions League - and against very decent opposition.
The Germans have been outclassed.
Sterling's last act
Leroy Sane replaces him for his home debut.
Sterling assist
Perfectly weighted ball from Sterling releases Aguero and his finish is unerring.
GOAL! Aguero gets his hattrick
He wraps it up in style!
Don't forget KDB!
Gundogan and Fernandinho have been highlighted tonight but don’t forget Kevin De Bruyne.
He is world-class and his ability to pick a pass can only be second to very few people in the game. Sterling might consider himself unlucky not to have tucked that away but his finishing remains the main unconvincing part of his game.
Bravo confident
He’s not had much to do, but he’s made one great save and hasn’t put a foot wrong.
72mins: Sterling should make it three!
That should be goodnight Gladbach. Sterling played clear but he delays and allows the goalkeeper to come out. His shot deflects wide.
Great atmosphere
Far from the first time this chant has been heard, but it is loud this evening.
