Manchester City became the first team in Champions League history to lead an away knockout game by four goals at half-time after a blistering opening 45 minutes against Sporting CP.
Riyad Mahrez got City on their way after seven minutes on Tuesday before Bernardo Silva doubled their advantage with a sublime half-volley 10 minutes later.
Phil Foden added a third shortly after the half-hour mark as City s dominance continued.
Silva then netted his second shortly before the interval as Pep Guardiola s side wrote their names into the record books once again.
Man City are having fun in Lisbon so far this evening.
Only against Leicester City on Boxing Day in the Premier League (2.43) have they posted a higher xG in the first half of a match in 2021-22 than they did tonight (2.24).
