Champions League: European football returns with wild night of action
It was a matchday that had managers, players and pundits confused and delighted.Jordan Henderson scored just his second Champions League goal , 2,485 days since his first, against Ludogorets Razgrad in November 2014Having between them produced arguably the greatest European Cup final of all time in 2005, when the Reds came back from 3-0 down to win the trophy on penalties, they then gave us Milan's revenge in another gripping tournament-deciding showdown two years later.
Defender Andy Robertson added: "First half an hour we blew them away. Then we got sloppy and stopped doing the things we were doing really well."We let them back into the game and walk in at half-time thinking 'how have we let this happen?' This was Manchester City's highest scoring Champions League game, surpassing the eight goals in their 5-3 victory over Monaco in February 2017
The Argentine, on his 150th Champions League appearance and first in the competition for any side other than Barcelona, struck the crossbar but was frustrated along with his team-mates by a well-drilled Club Bruges, whose spending and resources pales in comparison to their star-studded opponents. "We came here to take points. All the points. Hats off to Club Bruges. They wanted it more than us tonight and they deserve the point."
