Manchester City eased into the quarter-finals of the Champions League with a 7-0 thrashing of Bundesliga strugglers Schalke at the Etihad Stadium. Toiling in the Bundesliga and with Tedesco reportedly on the brink of the sack, Schalke played like a side lacking confidence. Even with City short at the back, Aymeric Laporte being their only specialist starting centre-half, the Germans were unable to cause problems. Sane raced through and rounded Fahrmann to tuck home, but a flag was then raised and VAR upheld the offside. The flag was initially raised, but replays this time proved Sterling was onside.
