Manchester City put ahead in the final price by defeating Greek
Olympiakos 3 – zero in the third round of the third group in the
UEFA Champions League group tournament.
Spaniard Fernan Torres (12), Brazilian Gabriel Jess (81) and
Joao Cancelo of Portugal scored (90)
It is the third successive victory for City, with it raising its score
to nine points in first place, three points ahead of Porto, who
won his turn 3-0 at Marseille, while Olympiacos’s balance was
frozen at three points, and Marseille’s balance remained without
points after suffering a third loss.
City have only scored four goals in their last nine matches (in all
competitions) following their loss to Leicester City 2-5 in the league,
six of which have kept clean sheets.
It is noteworthy that the Spanish coach Josep Guardiola’s team
scored three goals in each of its three matches, and only
conceded one goal.
Torres opened the scoring after a pass by Belgian Kevin De Bruyne,
and he kicked it between the feet of Portuguese goalkeeper Jose Sa (12).
Torres became the third-youngest player to score in four
consecutive matches in the history of the Champions League
at the age of 20 years and 248 days, after Frenchman Kylian
Mbappe (18 years and 120 days) and the Norwegian Erling
Haaland (19 years and 107 days).
De Bruyne proved once again that he was one of the best players
at the moment, with a new decisive pass that went to Jesus, who
hit the roof of the net (81).
Cancelo finished the hat-trick after he advanced the ball from
the right side and hit his left a ball from outside the penalty area (90).
Porto beat French hosts Marseille 3-0.
Mali Moussa Marega (4), Sergio de Olvera (28 penalty) and
Colombian Luis Diaz (69) scored.
And the task of the French team became almost impossible after
suffering a third loss, so that its players did not even succeed in
scoring any goal.
