When it comes to Manchester City and Europe everything seems to be an inevitability. Their routine victory over Young Boys secured an 11th straight season in the Champions League knockout stages and a 28th home game unbeaten in the competition.
It helps when Pep Guardiola has Erling Haaland at his disposal. He did the damage for City, scoring twice to take his Champions League tally to 39 in 34 games with a penalty and a vicious drive into the top corner. The closest the Young Boys defence got to the Norwegian in his hour on the pitch was when he walked down the tunnel at half-time and was asked for his shirt by the opposition captain Mohamed Ali Camara.
