On November 5, Manchester City secured a thrilling 3-2 Champions League victory over RB Leipzig, thanks to Erling Haaland's late winner. After an impressive start to the season, the Premier League champions had lost two consecutive games in the league, one of which was decided by a penalty shootout against Brighton. City took the lead through Lukeba's own goal and then Fernandez's header, but Leipzig equalized through Baku and Nusa.
Haaland, who had few chances throughout the match, ultimately secured the win with his decisive strike. Despite the victory, City's coach Enzo Maresca acknowledged that the team still needs improvement, while praising Haaland's continued impact. Leipzig, under new coach Martin Demichelis, struggled to maintain their usual form but had a standout performance from Nusa.
The win marks Haaland's sixth goal and seventh assist in 14 matches this season, as Leipzig aim to replace Yan Diomande who has moved to Real Madrid.
