Highlights.
MOTM: Kelvin De Bruyne.
Kevin De Bruyne is the fourth player to score at least 10 goals in the knockout stages of the UEFA Champions League since 2019-20, along with Karim Benzema (17), Erling Haaland (13) and Robert Lewandowski (11).
Both Kevin De Bruyne and Bernardo Silva have seen each of their last 10 UEFA Champions League goals come in the knockout stages – only Karim Benzema (a run of 14 between March 2022 and April 2023) has had a longer such run in the competition’s history.
Erling Haaland had just 6 touches in the first half tonight between Copenhagen and Manchester City. That is fewer than any player in both of tonight’s Champions League games.
Manchester City have now won each of their last 11 games in all competitions, their longest such run since a 21-game run between December 2020 and March 2021.
Phil Foden and Kevin De Bruyne have now combined for 15 goals in 144 games all competitions. That is more than any other player Foden has combined with, and De Bruyne has only combined with 5 players more.
Kevin De Bruyne has now assisted 30 Champions League goals. That is more than Thomas Muller, Andres Iniesta and Karim Benzema.
No Premier League player has been directly involved in more goals in 2024 across all competitions than Kevin De Bruyne:
- 6 goals
- 2 assists
FC København remain winless in all three of their knockout-stage games in the UEFA Champions League (D1 L2), losing both at home, although they did score their first goal at this stage today.
Manchester City have won four successive UEFA Champions League away games for just the second time, previously doing so between December 2019 and November 2020.
