Overview
- Manchester City beat Galatasaray 2-0 at the Etihad to finish inside the top eight and advance directly to the Champions League last 16.
- Erling Haaland scored in the 11th minute and Rayan Cherki added a second before the half-hour, with both goals created by Jérémy Doku.
- Shortly after half-time, multiple intruders entered the pitch displaying what appeared to be Kurdish flags, and play was paused before stewards removed them.
- Greater Manchester Police said seven arrests were made during the game: three for pitch encroachment, three for public order offenses, and one related to a missile thrown onto the pitch.
- Guardiola said Doku sustained a muscular problem and is expected to be unavailable for Sunday’s match at Tottenham as his recovery is assessed, while authorities have not confirmed the protestors’ motive beyond social media claims.
