Rumour · This claim is unconfirmed.
From the source
Manchester City had one job to do against RB Leipzig at the Red Bull Arena last night. That was to leave Germany with all three points to aid their bid to secure a top-eight finish in the UEFA Champions League league table.
Enzo Maresca’s side did exactly that as they picked up a 3-2 win over an impressive RB Leipzig outfit. Last night’s match followed a familiar pattern of matches that City have played this season.
It was an open affair where both teams had their chances to win. Watching the early stages of Enzo Maresca’s reign as Manchester City manager, it does now seem like there is a pattern evolving which is far away from the control that anyone who has watched City over the past decade has become accustomed to.
