The Manchester City academy product emphatically met an Alvarez through ball, rifling past Yassine Bounou at the near post. The fullback’s goal on his first senior start makes him Manchester City’s youngest Champions League goal scorer. The Bury-born fullback has been at the club since the age of eight.
Julian Alvarez put the home side ahead after 73 minutes. The Argentine collected a sumptuous, arrowed pass from substitute Kevin De Bruyne before rounding Bounou and firing into the roof of the net. The silky Belgian creator had only been on the pitch for three minutes before supplying Alvarez.
