Manchester City pipped Borussia Dortmund 2-1 after Phil Foden scored a 90th minute winner for the English side.
Earlier, Marco Reus had cancelled out Kevin De Bruyne’s first-half opener for the German side in the 84th minute.
As it panned out, Pep Guardiola was right.
Dortmund’s position of fifth on the Bundesliga table is indeed a false assumption of their quality.
They scared the living daylight out of City and Guardiola’s team would have to find another gear if they hope to win the second leg.
Dortmund:
Hitz (7), Morey (6), Hummels (6), Akanji (7), Guerreiro (6), Can (6), Dahoud (6), Bellingham (8), Reus (7), Knauff (7), Haaland (7)
Subs: Delaney (6), Meunier (6)
Man of the match: Kevin De Bruyne
