- Pep Guardiola told TNT Sports that Foden is "already" at peak form and highlighted the spread of goals beyond Haaland.
- Thomas Tuchel will name his England squad on Friday for World Cup qualifiers against Serbia and Albania, and Foden has not appeared for the national team since March.
- Haaland extended a Champions League benchmark by scoring in five consecutive games for a third different club and moved to 54 goals in 52 matches in the competition.
- City remain unbeaten in this season's Champions League and strengthened their push for automatic progression, while Rodri's absence from the bench cast doubt on his availability for Sunday's match against Liverpool.
