City ran riot as they took a 4-0 lead inside the opening 45 minutes of the first leg of the tie, with Sporting blown away as the visitors underlined their credentials as favourites for the trophy.

Riyad Mahrez opened the scoring after just seven minutes, with the goal being awarded after a long VAR check, before Bernardo Silva’s thunderous strike double their lead just 10 minutes later.
