Overview
- Manchester City won 2-0 in Spain with goals from Erling Haaland and Bernardo Silva.
- Haaland continued his prolific run, reaching 24 goals in 14 games this season and 53 in 51 Champions League appearances, with nine straight games scored for City.
- Holding midfielder Nico Gonzalez hobbled off early in the second half with an apparent right-knee injury.
- Mateo Kovacic replaced Gonzalez in the 56th minute after only recently returning from a five-month Achilles layoff.
- City’s unbeaten streak in all competitions moved to nine matches, and they next visit Aston Villa on Sunday with Haaland seeking a seventh straight Premier League game with a goal.
