CHAMPIONS LEAGUE : MANCHESTER CITY VS NAPOLI – 18/09/2025 (PHOTO – HAALAND HEADS ONE HOME)

ERLING HAALAND MADE HISTORY AGAIN YESTERDAY BY BECOMING THE FASTEST TO REACH 50 CHAMPIONS LEAGUE GOALS AFTER A SUBLIME HEADER AT 56 MINS!   

THIS WAS FOLLOWED UP BY A CRACKER FROM JEREMY DOKU A FEW MINS. LATER AFTER SOME SUPERB DRIBBLING THROUGH A PACKED NAPOLI DEFENSE AT 65 MINS.  (BELOW)

MAN CITY MADE 804 PASSES IN TOTAL WITH A 92% PASS ACCURACY, HAD 9 CORNERS, (74% POSSESSION), AND 23 SHOTS WITH 6 ON-TARGET.  NAPOLI MADE 283 PASSES, WITH A 78% PASS ACCURACY, HAD 2 CORNERS, AND 1 SHOT WITH 1 ON- TARGET, BUT NO GOALS ON THIS OCCASION.  (IT COULDN’T HAVE HELPED THAT GIOVANNI DI LORENZO WAS RED-CARDED AT 21 MINS. FOR BRINGING DOWN HAALAND WHEN HE WAS WELL ‘ON-THE-BALL’ AND THEREBY DENYING HIM AN OBVIOUS GOAL-SCORING OPPORTUNITY – A.K.A. – ‘DOGSCO’ – AT 21 MINS. LEAVING THEM DOWN TO 10 MEN.)  SO THIS ENTHRALLING MATCH ENDED IN A 2 – 0 WIN TO MAN. CITY!
