About this episode

The episode discusses five key takeaways from Manchester City's 2-0 victory over Porto, highlighting the performance of young talent Ayyoub Bouaddi and Erling Haaland's goalscoring prowess.

Five things we learned from Manchester City’s brilliant 2-0 victory away at Porto in the Champions League. Erling Haaland scored twice as Enzo Maresca’s side battled through a difficult night at the Estádio do Dragão and produced arguably their best performance of the season so far. But the evening also belonged to Ayyoub Bouaddi. The 18-year-old delivered a remarkably mature performance on his full Champions League debut and showed exactly why Manchester City believe they have signed such a special talent. Steven McInerney discusses Bouaddi’s incredible potential, Haaland’s relentless goalscoring, Maresca’s excellent in-game management, City winning the hard way and Rúben Dias stepping up as the senior leader and captain of this new-look team. www.esteemedkompany.com 🔔 Subscribe for Man City videos: bit.ly/EsteemedKompany ✍️ Become a channel member: youtube.com/esteemedkompany/join 🤝 Support on Patreon: patreon.com/esteemedkompany Esteemed Kompany.
