From the source

Manchester City will take on RB Leipzig in the Champions League this week. Pretty sure we've all heard that before. In recent seasons, die Roten Bullen have very much become familiar foes for the Sky Blues.

Since 2021, the pair have met six times, clashing in the group stags in 2021 and two seasons later, with Man City demolishing Marco Rose's side 7-0 in the round of 16, en route to the treble.

That night, five of the goals at the Etihad were scored by Erling Braut Håland, who ended his first campaign in England with a ridiculous 52 goals to his name.
