The Blues storm-trooped their way to the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League last night, lining up potential ties against Stretford’s finest and North London’s New Bottlers.
City were in no mood to keep this tie in the balance as they demolished FC Schalke 04 7-0 to make an aggregate score of 10-2.
Three thousand noisy Germans made the trip to the Etihad clearly in the hope of a miracle, but their ardour was soon dampened as City got into their stride from the start. The amazing thing is it took them 35 minutes to break the German Resistance, despite Aguero going close, but when Bernardo stepped inside and was hauled down in the box, up stepped Sergigol himself to open the scoring.
