in the first half.
After the break, the Blues came out firing on all cylinders and eventually destroyed the opposition. Edin Dzeko put the game beyond doubt, before Aguero added a second.
The stage was set for a new player to shine and after assisting with the Argentine’s goal, it was Pizzaro who was named in the score sheet to cap off a brilliant performance.

and as a result the holders crashed out of the tournament.
Seleccao International Joao Moutinho commented on the match and revealed that his side did not expect to be defeated so heavily, although they had no one but themselves to blame for it.
Speaking to reporters, the former Sporting Lisbon said that Man City were quite ruthless on the night, but with the score at 2-0, his team just lost all hope.
“We did not expect such a defeat. The opponent, of course, was very strong, but we wanted to win and we demonstrated that, making City fend off attacks on our home field. Unfortunately, the game did not go well, and we eventually lost. With the score 0-2,
we took a little step back and we lost the tie.”
He also added that they after being dumped out of the UEFA Europa League, Porto must turn their attention to domestic matters, where they are behind Benfica in the title race.
“We could have done that, but the ball just did not go through the goal. We wanted to win this tournament again, but we had no luck. Now we must pay all the attention to the national championship,” Moutinho was quoted as saying.
FC Porto now take on Feirense on the 26th of February at Estadio do Dragao.
