Who can Man City face in Champions League knockout play-off stage? | OneFootball

City came through must-win final match to qualify for knockout play-off round

But City delivered under pressure, beating Club Brugge 3-1, and it ensures they are still in the hunt for European glory as they look to turn their season around.

It was City’s first Champions League win since October, after a run of results that Guardiola’s side fall off the pace in the Premier League and leave themselves with significant work to do in Europe.

City were thrashed by Sporting, collapsed from three goals up to draw with Feyenoord, and then were comfortably beaten by Juventus before Christmas.

Last week’s defeat to PSG left City on the brink of an embarrassing early exit, but victory on Wednesday night against Club Brugge saved their blushes.
