Man City Cruise Into Champions League Quarters
Erling Haaland Scores Five As Citizens Secure 7-0 Win Over RB Leipzig
Manchester City booked their place in the Champions League quarter-finals with a comprehensive 7-0 win over RB Leipzig on Tuesday night.
Erling Haaland was in inspired form for the Premier League champions, scoring five goals to take his tally for the season to 32. Riyad Mahrez and Jack Grealish also got on the scoresheet as City secured a comfortable 8-1 aggregate victory.
The result means that City have now won their last four matches in all competitions, scoring 18 goals in the process. They will be confident of going all the way in this season's Champions League, especially with Haaland in such devastating form.
Leipzig, meanwhile, will be disappointed to have exited the competition at this stage. They were outplayed by City in both legs of the tie and will need to improve significantly if they want to challenge for major honors in the future.
The draw for the Champions League quarter-finals will be held on Friday, March 17. City will be hoping to avoid the likes of Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, and Napoli, who are all still in the competition.
