#2 City end Italian hoodoo; Pep Guardiola maintains impeccable record
Prior to this contest, Manchester City had won just one of their five previous matches against Italian opposition at home in the Champions League. This might have played on their mind in the early going as they struggled to impose their game on the visitors.
However, after Sergio Aguero got them back on level terms in the first half, Pep Guardiola's side dominated proceedings. The Cityzens managed to net four more over the course of the game, bringing an end to their Italian jinx at home.
Meanwhile, City boss Guardiola maintained his stranglehold over Italian opposition. The Spaniard has lost just one of his 15 Champions League meetings with Italian opponents. Following a 3-1 defeat to Inter way back in 2010, Guardiola's sides have remained unbeaten in their last 12 outings against sides from Italy.
