Manchester City extened unbeaten run to 18-matches, also become fastest to 250 goals in Europe

European Treble winners Manchester City extended their unbeaten run of matches to 18 in Europe, thanks to a 3-0 victory over Swiss opponents Young Boys last night in front of home fans. Pep Guardiola’s side also became the fastest Club ever in UEFA Champions League to score 250 goals taking only 119 games.

Many believe that the current Manchester City team is even more lethal than last year’s Treble winning side. Despite a few outgoings, the club managed to bring in effective replacements who are chipping in positively for the team’s contribution.

Last night’s win at home, sealed qualification for the next round for City who are confirmed to be entering the Round of 16 for the 11th consecutive season. It took Manchester City a while to open the scoring after creating several chances but finding that deft touch inside the goal.

But in the 22nd minute, Midfielder Matheus Nunes won a penalty which was neatly converted by Erling Haaland by sending Young Boys goalkeeper Racioppi the wrong way. Then in the closing minutes of First half, Jack Grealish assisted Phil Foden with a beautifully curved pass as the latter found the left far post with a calm finish to double City’s lead.

Then 6 minutes into the 2nd half, Erling Haaland tripled City’s lead with a powerful shot from outside of the box with his left foot to find the top left corner. Haaland scored City’s 248th and 250th goal in Europe while City academy superstar Phil Foden netted the 249th goal.

With Round of 16 qualification sealed, Pep and Co. will focus on their trip to Stamford Bridge this weekend for a clash against Mauricio Pochetinno’s Chelsea. The Londoners will be looking to win their first match against City since winning the UEFA Champions League 2021 Final at Porto in 2021.

Whereas City would like to extend their winning run vs Chelsea to 7 games with their last victory coming in May in the Premier League by 1-0. Given Manchester City’s form, the Premier League champions are expected to come out with a 3-0 win this Sunday (November 12).
