The Portuguese also extended the hosts’ lead 14 minutes later when he headed home after Eder Militao had parried Ilkay Gundogan’s shot.

The Spaniards could have entered the game, but Toni Kroos hit the post with a fierce shot from outside the penalty area.

In the second half, Carlo Ancelotti made several substitutions in an attempt to change the game, but City still scored, in a set-piece that saw Eder Militao score an own goal (76 minutes).

Entering the field at the end, Julián Alvarez made the score 4:0.
