Manchester City Stun Schalke to cruised into Champions League quarter-final

By -
Manchester City cruised into the Champions League quarter-finals as an emphatic 7-0 second-leg victory over Schalke saw them progress 10-2 on aggregate.
Sergio Aguero atoned for missing an early sitter with two first-half goals - the first of which was a Panenka penalty - before Leroy Sane put the tie beyond his former club with City's third before the interval.
Sane then turned provider, setting up Raheem Sterling for a clinical fourth - his sixth goal in his last three appearances - Bernardo Silva for a fifth and Phil Foden for a sixth - his first goal in European football.
Gabriel Jesus completed the rout with City's seventh to cap a perfect night for Pep Guardiola's side, who await their fate in Friday's quarter-final and semi-final draw.

Pep Guardiola has qualified for the Champions League quarter-finals in nine of his 10 campaigns, with 2016-17 the only season he failed to do so.


City won 10-2 on aggregate against Schalke - only once previously has a team won by a larger margin in the Champions League knockout stages (Bayern Munich 12-1 Sporting CP in the 2008-09 Last 16).


Sane holds a special place in the hearts of everyone associated with Schalke but they won't want to see him anytime soon after such a devastating attacking display.
