On the same night Marseille produced a 2-1 comeback victory at home to Olympiacos, joining them on three points; however, with the Greek side having the head-to-head advantage, OM need to better their result on Matchday 6, when Olympiacos play host to Porto, to finish third. • City eased to three points at the Stade Vélodrome on Matchday 2, Ferran Torres opening the scoring in the 18th minute before goals in the closing stages from İlkay Gündoğan (76) and Raheem Sterling (81) made sure of the victory. Form guide Manchester City • City scored three goals in each of their first three Group C victories, the win in Marseille coming either side of defeats of Porto (3-1) and Olympiacos (3-0) in Manchester. A 1-0 victory at Olympiacos on Matchday 4 secured progress before a 0-0 draw at Porto last time out confirmed City in first place and Porto second. • City finished second in the 2019/20 Premier League, ending the season 18 points behind Liverpool having won the title in each of the two previous campaigns. • Josep Guardiola's side bowed out of the UEFA Champions League at the quarter-final stage for the third season running, going down 3-1 against Marseille's domestic rivals Lyon in their one-off tie in Lisbon. • City had finished first in their group with 14 points (W4 D2) before seeing off Real Madrid in the last 16, winning 2-1 away and at home against the 13-time European champions. • This is the Cityzens' tenth UEFA Champions League campaign; they have been involved in the group stage every season since 2011/12 and have now reached the round of 16 in eight successive campaigns. • City have scored 45 goals in their last 18 UEFA Champions League matches; over the last two seasons their record is W17 D4 L3 with 61 goals scored and 22 conceded. • Guardiola's team are unbeaten in ten home European matches (W9 D1) since a 2-1 loss against Lyon on Matchday 1 in 2018/19. • City's best UEFA Champions League performance was reaching the 2015/16 semi-finals. • Matchday 2 ended City's four-game winless streak against French clubs (D1 L3), since a 5-3 defeat of Monaco in the 2016/17 round of 16 first leg – a tie Guardiola's side lost on away goals after going down 3-1 in the away game. • City have won two of their four home matches with Ligue 1 visitors (D1 L1) but lost the most recent, that 2018 defeat against Lyon. Marseille • Marseille were the only side still to score in this season's group stage after four games, losing at Olympiacos (0-1) and Porto (0-3) and at home to City and Porto (0-2). That looked set to become five games without a point when Olympiacos took a first-half lead at the Stade Vélodrome on Matchday 5, but two Dimitri Payet penalties in the second period broke that scoreless run and ended OM's long wait for a UEFA Champions League win.
