Match report as academy graduate Rico Lewis lights up the Etihad Stadium with equalising goal; Julian Alvarez and Riyad Mahrez make the game safe after Rafa ...

In the second half with Sergio Gomez on the left and Rico Lewis on the right we felt we had more presence in the final third. The guys that want to stay here and fight for their position, they have a chance. Alvarez had been making some fine runs in behind the Sevilla centre-backs all evening but no one possessed the vision to find him until De Bruyne picked up the ball on the halfway line and spun a sensational ball in behind that he latched onto. That allowed the two City full-backs to play more as wingers rather than inverted midfielders and it was Lewis - born in 2004 - that grabbed the equaliser. It was really poor defending from City's point of view as Mir was left in three yards of space from an Isco corner to loop a header into the far corner. Alvarez then grabbed his second assist of the night when setting up Riyad Mahrez to make the game safe as City finished top of Group G.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic believes Erling Haaland's progress at Manchester City will depend on manager Pep Guardiola's ego. Zlatan rates Haaland; Praises striker's ...

Indeed, Ibrahimovic [has even said he feels likehe "lost his identity"](https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/ibrahimovic-calls-barcelona-spell-his-worst-memory-lost-identity-at-camp-nou/blte5cc4e925fdcac71) during his brief time at Camp Nou. He is the new version of these players. "He doesn't go down to get the ball to play. He doesn't do things that he is not capable of doing," he told Canal Plus. However, Ibrahimovic is not sure how the Norwegian will progress at the Etihad Stadium and has suggested that Guardiola could hinder his development. The veteran Milan striker has given his verdict on Haaland and has made it clear he thinks very highly of City's big-money summer signing.

Julian Alvarez stepped into the void left by Erling Haaland with a goal and two assists as Manchester City came from behind to beat Sevilla 3-1 on Wednesday ...

"He made two assists and a goal. The Belgian curled a pass in behind the Sevilla defence for Alvarez to round Bono and fire high into the unguarded net. Today he was patient." Alvarez then showed another side to his game by winning back possession deep inside the Sevilla half and unselfishly squaring for Mahrez to smash into the top corner. The English champions were without Haaland due to a foot injury and with top spot in Champions League Group G already assured, Guardiola took the opportunity to leave Kevin De Bruyne, Rodri, Bernardo Silva and Joao Cancelo on the bench. Julian Alvarez stepped into the void left by Erling Haaland with a goal and two assists as Manchester City came from behind to beat Sevilla 3-1 on Wednesday.

Afterwards, they will return to league action with a game against 11th-placed Brentford on 12th November. Historically, they have never won against Manchester City in the Champions League. Their last two Champions League games against FC Copenhagen and Borussia Dortmund have both been goalless draws.

Manchester City could have more of a youthful look when they line up against Sevilla tonight.

On Tuesday Guardiola confirmed that Erling Haaland will play no part in the match, while Kyle Walker and Kalvin Phillips remain sidelined. That suggests both could be called upon by Guardiola. City secured top spot in the group last week with a goalless draw against Borussia Dortmund while Sevilla secured third place with a 3-0 defeat of FC Copenhagen.

It's fair to say City have scored our fair share of impressive goals during our 12 consecutive UEFA Champions League campaigns.

Manchester City forward Erling Haaland will miss Wednesday's Champions League tie against Sevilla due to an injury.

“Tomorrow he is not available. He feels better compared to Saturday and Sunday but he is not 100% and we don’t want to take a risk, it makes no sense”. Pep made it known that he will be unavailable for Wednesday’s game and is likely to miss City’s next EPL clash against Fulham.

Manchester City beat Sevilla in the Champions League on Wednesday thanks to a second-half comeback inspired by key men coming off the bench.

If this was meant to be a chance for Gomez to redeem his Copenhagen red card, he didn't take it, and it would be a surprise to see him again before the World Cup. Surely the plan will have been to use Josh Wilson-Esbrand as a replacement for Lewis, though, with a bit of a defensive reshuffle. Likewise, Sergio Gomez's disappointing night proved the need for full-back to be an area of interest in the coming transfer windows. Foden's future may lie in midfield, and he arguably played better there against Sevilla than he has done previously, however Wednesday's game highlighted the need for a quality midfield reinforcement as one of the next transfer priorities. Pep Guardiola may not have wanted to use any of those players, but they undoubtedly changed the game and proved their importance to the Blues. Rafa Mir's opener for the Spaniard's barely mustered a response from the Etihad crowd more focussed on shielding from the rain and there was no spark to ignite a flat atmosphere.

Manchester City face Fulham in the Premier League this weekend, and Erling Haaland is doubtful with a foot injury.

"When we have the ball, we have to express ourselves, we have to attack them. It will be really difficult for us, but it’s our obligation to try." "It means that the target and the challenge is really tough for us, but we have to embrace it. "They are the most difficult one to play against, in my opinion. "You know that I am delighted to have Mitrovic with us and I'm sure that Pep is delighted to have Haaland with them as well. "Of course, Haaland is a key player for them.
