The second half returns to City in the Champions League break

Manchester City organized a return in the second half to secure a 3-1 victory over Borogge Club, and reserved its place in the Champions League round.

Pep Guardiola was clearly frustrating on the touch line, knowing that his team needs at least two goals to keep his campaign in the Champions League alive.
