UEFA Champions League Report: Borussia Dortmund v Manchester City 14 April 2021

UEFA Champions League Report: Borussia Dortmund v Manchester City 14 April 2021

Result: Borussia Dortmund 1-2 Manchester City (2-4 agg.)

Date: 14 April 2021

Venue: Signal-Iduna-Park

Manchester City closed out a 2-1 victory on the night and a 4-2 aggregate win over Borussia Dortmund to advance to the UEFA Champions League semi-finals.

Oleksandr Zinchenko replaced Joao Cancelo in manager Pep Guardiola's only change to the City starting line-up from the win over the Borussians last week, but there were seven alterations in total from the weekend's defeat to Leeds United in the Premier League.

Dortmund fielded the same side as last Tuesday but there were two changes from the side that played against Stuttgart at the weekend, with Emre Can and Ansgar Knauff coming into the side.

City started positively but Dortmund were also slick in possession, with Mahmoud Dahoud going close with an early opening although Ederson was on hand to make the save.

Dortmund did manage to take  the lead in the 15th minute through Jude Bellingham, who fired past Ederson after picking up the ball on the edge of the box.

Kevin de Bruyne went close to bagging the equaliser on 25 minutes, but his fierce effort rebounded off the woodwork.

The Citizens got their reward 10 minutes into the second half as Mahrez equalised via the penalty spot after Emre Can was adjudged to have handled in the area.

The turnaround was complete with 15 minutes left on the clock as Phil Foden sent a low shot  past Marwin Hitz off the near post to put the visitors ahead on the night and 4-2 on aggregate.

And in the end, Guardiola's side cruised through to the last four and remain on track for an elusive maiden Champions League title.
