Lionel Messi’s opening strike for Barcelona was not enough to get a historical win for the Camp Nou warlords in their Uefa Champions League encounter versus Manchester City as the home side replied with three solid goals to get their revenge against the Spanish side.
Coached by Pep Guardiola, a former Barcelona gaffer, Manchester City had trailed the game in the first 21 minutes after Messi’s goal separated the sides, but Gundogan ensured that they were back on level terms before the break.
De Bruyne scored a lovely free-kick as Gundogan finished the Catalan giants with a heartbreaking strike about 17 minutes from regulation time to seal a memorable win for his coach after losing the reverse fixture at the Camp Nou a few weeks back.
Arsenal also came from two goals down to win away to Ludogorets with Mezut Ozil capping another night of fantastic football with his fourth goal against the Bulgarians in as many games.
