Pep Guardiola reaction

“It was a really good performance from minute one until the end for everyone…very good, very good,” the City boss told BT Sport.

“We created our own problems, but apart from that, we played really, really, really, really good – with the ball, without the ball. We scored a lot of goals, Haaland was amazing, but everyone was exceptional.”

Guardiola: Haaland is incredible

And here’s Pep on his star striker…

“He’s an incredible guy with huge talent, power and mentality. Really good,” the Spaniard said of Haaland.

“It’s incredible in only 60 minutes, no more than that. If he played maybe 90 minutes, he could do… I don’t know.”

Haaland wanted double hat-trick

Haaland jokingly bemoans being taken off by Guardiola while hunting his double hat-trick!

“I told him when I went off, ‘I would love to score a double hat-trick‘. But what can I do?”

Erling Haaland reaction

Here’s the man of the moment speaking to BT Sport…

“It’s a big night, first of all to play (in the) Champions League. I’m really proud to play (in the) Champions League and I love this competition, as everybody knows.

“Five goals, to win 7-0 at home, I’m so happy.

“Should I be honest now? I’m a bit blurry in my head. I can’t remember the goals. I was just shooting, not thinking, to be honest.

“My super-strength? I think after scoring five goals I have to say scoring goals.

“Should I be honest? A lot of goals today I didn’t think, I was just doing it. On the penalty, I was just trying to get the ball into the back of the net, same with the second goal, same with the third goal, same with every goal.

“I didn’t think on every single goal. I think a lot of it is just being quick in the mind and trying to do the right thing, trying to put it where the keeper is not.

“I think a little bit of it is quality, but a lot of it is in the head, I think.”

No prizes for guessing tonight’s player of the game!

They should give him all the match balls, not just one…

GOAL! Man City 7-0 RB Leipzig | Kevin De Bruyne 92’ (agg 8-1)

92 mins: Don’t forget about me, says De Bruyne.

He’s been exceptional tonight too and rifles in a sensational last-gasp seventh to equal City’s biggest-ever European win.

Great work from Mahrez in the build-up.

Utterly relentless from Guardiola’s men.

90 mins: Just two minutes of added time for Leipzig to endure.

How many goals tonight, Erling?

84 mins: A break in play now as Akanji needs treatment after a whack to the head from Leipzig goalkeeper Blaswich.

Looks like the Swiss defender will be okay to continue.
