RB Leipzig deserve praise for the courage they showed when they rallied at the end of the first half and the first half of the second half.
RB Leipzig midfielder Nordi Mukiele scored an own goal, giving Man City a goal to increase the score to 2-0.
Etihad Stadium witnessed Man City’s most satisfying football party in the European Cups.
The 6-3 result also helped Man City increase their unbeaten streak in the Champions League group stage to 18 matches, of which 14 were victories.
But behind those bright spots, Man City still leaves many concerns.
Nkunku scored the second of his three goals in this match, but only added spice to Man City’s feast of eye-catching goals.
In the 42nd minute, Olmo dropped the ball to the left for Forsberg to cross in.
Man City regained their two-goal lead in first half stoppage time, with a penalty that Mahrez successfully took after VAR determined that the ball from Ferran Torres’s header touched Klostermann’s hand.
The chase continued intensely a few minutes later.
Cancelo fired a cannon to increase the score to 5-3 for Man City.
But Man City only really felt comfortable from the 79th minute, after the away team’s left-back Angelino received an indirect red card for a tackle on Cancelo.
In the next match on September 29, Man City met PSG – the team surprisingly let Club Brugge draw 1-1 in the opening match despite the trio of Lionel Messi – Kylian Mbappe and Neymar starting.
