Omar Marmoush’s hat-trick propelled Manchester City into the top four as Erling Haaland was declared fit for the daunting trip to Real Madrid after an injury scare.
Haaland appeared to jar his knee late on during City’s 4-0 demolition of Newcastle United, long after Marmoush had netted the club’s 44th hat-trick of the Premier League era.
But Pep Guardiola insisted that his captain for the day will be able to feature at the Bernabeu on Wednesday night as City attempt to reverse a 3-2 deficit in the Champions League.
