Dinamo Zagreb v Manchester City: Group C - UEFA Champions League

Manchester City had already advanced to the Round of 16 in Group C leaving Pep Guardiola with a chance to ring the changes in their dead rubber against Dinamo Zagreb. City though could not afford another lethargic outing especially on the back of a damaging defeat to crosstown rivals Manchester United in the derby last Saturday. The Cityzens were also in dire run of form of two wins in seven matches heading to Croatia.

But Guardiola's men responded emphatically after going a goal down to the Croatian champions with Gabriel Jesus who is still filling in for their injured talisman Sergio Aguero, scoring a match-winning hattrick and Phil Foden who enjoyed a rare start slotting a fourth late on.

City have not won the Champions League in their entire history, but for a squad replete with talent and sorcery of Guardiola's tactics, it is understandable why they remain the bookmakers' favourites to win the crown this year.
