Maybe this is the game in which Manchester City learn to love the Champions League. What an occasion it was. A giant, twister of a match, of seemingly uncontrollable force and frenzy, City almost out of Europe one moment, stronger than ever and winning in style the next. City were 3-2 down after 60 minutes, 5-3 up after 82 – and Monaco missed a penalty. Reputations were made and trashed, sometimes within moments, but at the end Pep Guardiola’s side was, somehow, emphatically victorious. A word of warning, mind you. Against a Monaco team with this attacking potential, even two goals clear, this isn’t over.
