Manchester City cruised to a win vs. KDB’s Napoli as an early red card, really shaped the match. Haaland and Gigio were on fire as was Phil Foden and Jeremy Doku, who looked especially sharp on the night. A really good win City saw some slight rotation and it was nice seeing De Bruyne back in the Etihad. A good win that should boost morale ahead of the clash of heavyweights on Sunday vs. Arsenal. On to the reaction-Pep Guardiola Reaction “Against 10 we made a really good performance against . The Italian team with 10 men can defend every block.How aggressive they are I faced that many times in my career.““We are really pleased because I know how good Napoli are.“What can I say (about Erling Haaland)? The numbers speak for themselves and how lucky we are to have him. Van Nistelrooy and Lewandowski and Cristiano and Messi, Erling is there. In terms of goals he is unbelievable.“Of course we have one more man in the middle. Phil in that position is incredible. It’s quite similar the movement he has done to Jeremy with Erling against United.“Jeremy in that position one on one against central defender over five metres, he is the fastest player and unstoppable. Over longer distances he may suffer a lot, but over short spaces, how fast he is!“Always I encourage him to go and prove it and he made an incredible finish at the end.”Notable Media That Foden assist 😮💨#UCL pic.twitter.com/cAPzIEYEaD— UEFA Champions League (@ChampionsLeague) September 18, 2025MANCHESTER CITY HAVE WON TWO GAMES IN A ROW WITHOUT CONCEDING A SINGLE GOAL.— City Chief (@City_Chief) September 18, 2025Erling Haaland scores his 50th Champions League goal 👏#UCL pic.twitter.com/4yehZLZbLY— UEFA Champions League (@ChampionsLeague) September 18, 2025Starting our #UCL campaign with a W 🙌 pic.twitter.com/GDzsMRkLgv— Manchester City US (@ManCityUS) September 18, 2025
