Gladbach, though outclassed, have not given up. They pester City into conceding a corner. And the setpiece causes problems, as Thuram knocks it down for Bensebaini, who spins at the edge of the six yard area … and shoots wide. And it wouldn’t have counted anyway, as the whistle had gone for a free out.
A blemish on City’s day, as Cancelo is shown a yellow card for raising his foot a tad too high as he slid in to win the ball near half-way, which he did.
Lainer gets his nut in the way of a dainty cross from the right by Mahrez.
Gladbach ty to reacquaint themselves with the ball for a bit. But City aren’t inclined to let them fulfil even that modest ambition.
Ederson ends a pass long into the Gladbach half. It’s headed away but Gundogan picks it up and threads a ball through to Mahrez. The Algerian wraps his foot around he ball and tries to curl a low shot into the net from the edge of the box. But it doesn’t curl enough and drifts a couple of yards wide of the near post.
Rodri powers into the Gladbach has before being shunted over, giving De Bruyne a freekick. He lofts it into the box but it’s headed clear by a Gladbach defender, the first player on his team to touch the ball in the second half.
See waht Pep Guardiola have to say after the match:
“It was a good performance, we controlled the game from the beginning,”
“This competition is tricky but after the two goals everything was easier – everyone in their position moved the ball quick.
“A lot of players like Phil Foden, Bernando Silva, they have a lot of quality, they help us a lot but everyone was so committed and we are delighted to be in the next stage.
“After the international break, we will have time to think. The quality every time is higher and hopefully we can maintain this mood. I always think when you go through you deserve it. We try to play good and we will see what happens.
“We now have everybody fit. That’s why we can rotate six or seven players. If you want to compete for competitions you have to be fresh. The seasons are so long, we haven’t had one long week since October.”
