City eventually beat Monaco 5-3 after twice falling behind, in what was one of the games of the tournament so far.

Sergio Aguero was back on the score sheet with a brace, making the most of the opportunity left to him following Gabriel Jesus’ spell on the sidelines.

England winger Raheem Sterling continued his impressive form in the Champions League with a goal and a neat assist.

Soon after, Pep’s side were headed to Abu Dhabi for a spot of warm weather training to make the most of their Premier League break.

They were due to play Manchester United this weekend, a fixture that’s been rearranged after United reached the League Cup final.

City are next in action in the Premier League against Sunderland on March 5th.
