When the first legs of these round of 16 kicked off, only Manchester City got off to a comfortable start with almost no problems.

The English traveled to Portugal and got an advantageous 0-5 against Sporting that now allows them to think about a process to go to the quarterfinals, when this Wednesday, March 9, they receive the same rival at home.

Manchester City strikes down Sporting Lisbon and caresses the quarterfinals

In that game, Bernardo Silva was the star of the Citizens with 2 goals, 1 assist, 2 recoveries and 91% pass effectiveness.

Never before in the Champions League has a team been able to come back from 0-5, let alone playing as a visitor.

The biggest comeback was 4 goals when FC Barcelona kept the key to the 2016/17 Round of 16 against PSG (4-0 defeat in the first leg and 6-1 victory in the second leg).

In the midst of the advantage he has, Josep Guardiola, Manchester City coach, stressed that he only has 14 players available and the four defenders that he will put in action due to injuries.

Guardiola’s casualties include injured Rúben Dias and Nathan Aké, in addition to the suspended Kyle Walker and Joao Cancelo will now miss the second leg of the Champions League round of 16 due to illness.

This means City will only have four first-team defenders available, so the 5-0 first-leg draw now makes even more sense.

As far as Sporting is concerned, they lost in their 3 games in UEFA Champions League knockout games with an average of 5.7 goals conceded.

The Lusitanian team has gone 13 games without keeping an unbeaten fence outside its stadium, while Manchester City has 9 wins in a row at home with a scoring average of 3 goals per match.
