I know what i’m going to do and what I have to do. And that’s exactly what I did today and what I will keep on doing. That’s my biggest dream.” "My dream is to touch the ball five times and score five goals!" They were good. He continued: “They played well.

"He scored in Camp Nou an incredible goal against Atletico Madrid (in 1973) that was quite similar. Dortmund are second, with three points.

Messi then set up Kylian Mbappe to make it 2-1 midway through the second half, and Neymar sealed a second win in as many Group H games for PSG. "Dortmund were really good today (but) three points is what matters." In a dramatic second half, Rangers had American defender James Sands sent off for conceding a penalty which Piotr Zielinski had saved, only for Matteo Politano to score the rebound. In London, Potter took charge of Chelsea for the first time but had to settle for a 1-1 draw against Salzburg in Group E, with Raheem Sterling's opener early in the second half being cancelled out by Noah Okafor. At least they have a point, in stark contrast to rivals Rangers who lost 3-0 at home to Napoli in Group A. In Manchester, Haaland took on the club he left in the close season for 60 million euros ($60m, £52m) after two and a half prolific years in the Bundesliga.

Manchester City came from a goal behind to win 2-1 on Wednesday night courtesy of two stunning goals from Erling Haaland and John Stones.

[Phil Foden](https://www.sportbible.com/phil-foden) and [Julian Alvarez](https://www.sportbible.com/julian-alvarez) not producing many noteworthy moments of magic, the decisiveness in their actions and infectious energy was the blueprint, and is what led the charge for Manchester City to pull off yet another stupendous comeback. [Riyad Mahrez](https://www.sportbible.com/riyad-mahrez) and [Jack Grealish](https://www.sportbible.com/jack-grealish) is the very anthesis of this balance and un-coincidentally, City tend to usually drop points when the pair are on the same pitch from the off. [Pep Guardiola](https://www.sportbible.com/pep-guardiola) touched on the importance of knowing when to execute each action above everything else in his pre-match press conference, the statement especially applies to the pair, who fail to realise when to play it safe and when to go for the jugular. With a striker as electric as Erling Haaland leading the line, the dearth of injection in both the wide-men’s approaches is a glaring mismatch and especially on a day where Manchester City needed either to take the game by the scruff of the neck. [Bernardo Silva](https://www.sportbible.com/bernardo-silva) and [Raheem Sterling](https://www.sportbible.com/raheem-sterling) as Manchester City’s wide players during the 2018/19 season exemplified this very sentiment, with the former being a ball-to-feet wide-man and the latter being a more direct option, capable of running in behind the defence. [Portuguese](https://www.sportbible.com/portugal) defender was wasteful in possession as a whole, with many secretly aching for the balance of a certain Oleksandr Zinchenko to return on the left-hand side. [Luka Modric](https://www.sportbible.com/luka-modric), Manchester City's Joao Cancelo is making the trivela technique his signature party trick, as he pulled it out of the bag to set up Erling Haaland’s spectacular winner in the 84th minute. [Norwegian](https://www.sportbible.com/norway) international stayed on the periphery of things, as he lurked inside the opposition box for any sign of danger. [Manchester City](https://www.sportbible.com/city-xtra) side never backed down and got back into the contest thanks to a belter of a strike from John Stones - arguably the most improbable source for an equaliser in the most uncharacteristic fashion in the 80th minute. [Crystal Palace](https://www.sportbible.com/crystal-palace) stands out as his finest body of work in terms of dragging his new side to victory from a losing position, but every goal he has scored so far has either been an opener, an equaliser, or a winner. [Manchester City](https://www.sportbible.com/manchester-city) were uncharacteristically laboured for the majority of the night - especially going forward - Erling Haaland was an isolated man up front. [Jude Bellingham](https://www.sportbible.com/jude-bellingham) headed home the visitors’ opener on a night when the hosts were far from the best versions of themselves, it seemed like a defeat was perhaps inevitable.

The Manchester City striker scored against his former club in Wednesday night's Champions League victory.
