Roma game at red bull arena

The visitors' evening went from bad to worse when Walker was shown a straight red card late on. In a moment of madness, he caught Silva on the back of the ankles, and will now miss City's first knockout game next year.

An unimpressed Guardiola remained tight-lipped on what may have been said after the game, telling his post-match press conference: "It was a red card - definitely. I'm not coming here to say what happened in the dressing room. He cannot play in the last 16 and Kyle Walker is so important for us. We must always be in control of our emotions, especially in this competition… Hopefully he will learn for the future.

RB Leipzig celebrated a famous victory at full-time with interim manager Achim Beierlorzer, having secured their place in the Europa League after finishing third in Group A. While the defeat will do little to dent Man City's Champions League progress, it does end a seven-match winning run in all competitions and is a bump in the road for the momentum Guardiola was keen to keep building on in their final group game. Both teams walked out to an empty Red Bull Arena with coronavirus restrictions once again enforced in Germany.

It was a stark reminder of how football has been impacted by the pandemic over the last 18 months and was a strange sight despite its familiarity. It took a little while for both sides to find their rhythm. Leipzig went close first, with Konrad Laimer almost sneaking the ball in at the near post, but Zack Steffen was there to push it away. Soon after, the City goalkeeper came sliding through to keep Emil Forsberg from slotting home. Kevin De Bruyne and Jack Grealish also sent shots flashing across the face of goal for the visitors.

It was the hosts who then took the lead. Laimer slotted the ball through wonderfully for the run of Szoboszlai. There was a question of offside, but he was clearly on, as he sped away from John Stones.

The Leipzig striker then rounded the oncoming Steffen before slotting home into an open net. Man of the match: Emil Forsberg. Steffen was in inspired form again as he denied Silva from close range.
