With a late goal from Julian Alvarez, Manchester City turned the score around and beat Leipzig in the Champions League

With a goal in the final minutes by Argentine striker Julián Álvarez, Manchester City turned it around and beat Leipzig of Germany 3-2, at the Etihad Stadium, for the fifth round of Group G of the Champions League. The team led by the Spaniard Pep Guardiola did not have an optimal start and that was reflected in the scoreboard. In the 13th and 33rd minutes of the first half, Belgian striker Lois Openda took advantage of some mistakes by the defense and scored for the German side. In the second half, the English team came out with a different attitude and, in the 54th minute, scored through the Norwegian Erling Haaland. A few minutes later, Gvardiol saw that Phil Foden was unmarked near the opponent’s area, passed the ball to him and the Englishman controlled and finished with quality to make it 3-2. Finally, with three minutes to go in the match, Julián Álvarez, who came on in the first minutes of the second half, appeared in the middle of the box, executed a precise shot and sealed the final 3-2. The defending champions reached 15 points and won Group G with one game left in the regular season.The rest of the results of the fifth round of the Champions LeagueGroup E: Feyenoord 1 – 3 Atlético Madrid (Nahuel Molina, Rodrigo De Paul and Ángel Correa); Lazio 2 – 0 Celtic. Group F: Milan 1-3 Borussia Dortmund; PSG 1-1 Newcastle .
