Sevilla, subdued, compromises on his visit to City

Manchester City, who went into the break 0-1 against after Rafa Mir's goal, woke up in the second half and turned the score around against Sevilla, who competed well in the first period but couldn't hold on the rival's pressure after the restart, when the English formation was superior.

The game was presented with nothing at stake in sports. City was already classified as first for the round of 16 and Sevilla arrived rebounded to the next round of the Europa League as third.

Despite this, the economic prize for points achieved was an incentive, but also more so, in the case of Jorge Sampaoli's team, saying goodbye to the tournament with good feelings after a mediocre group stage that has combined with the dismal record in the League , in which it is located in relegation positions.

Both Sampaoli and Guardiola moved chips in the lineup: Håland did not play among the English.

Sevilla scored earlier but then found themselves overwhelmed by strong pressure from the Citizens and their own lack of speed. It was in the second half that City added another gear of speed and a loss by Telles meant that Rico Lewis equalized early. With Bernardo Silva and Kevin de Bruyne on the pitch, Sevilla were definitely overwhelmed. Julián Álvarez (73) and Mahrez (83) rounded off City's comeback.
