Manchester City Steal One Late

No matter how impressive a side might be in its domestic competition, the Champions League is always the centerpiece of pride.

Manchester City had to wait till the final minutes for all trois points as they edged Sevilla, 2-1.

City's bullying the Premiership, but Sevilla is not a side to take such challenges lightly. The Sky Blues learned this early in the proceedings when Yevhen Konoplyanka put his boot into it on the half-hour:

Well, you do get what you pay for.
