Manchester City blew Basel away in the first leg of their Last 16 clash in Switzerland, as the ever impressive Ilkay Gundogan helped himself to a brace.
It’s a result which won’t have gone unnoticed in Paris, Madrid and Barcelona as the Sky Blues certainly justified their position as title favourites, with betting odds already under 5.00 and dropping. Meanwhile, Spurs got the live betting markets moving rapidly with a brave fight-back against Juventus.
FC Basel 0-4 Manchester City
This tie was all but over in the first quarter of the first leg as Manchester City dismantled Basel. Ilkay Gundogan headed the opener, Bernardo Silva volleyed the second and then Sergio Aguero lashed in a belter from 25 yards. It was four when Gundogan scored the goal of the night, leaving a defender for dead before curling a beauty into the top corner.
Juventus 2-2 Tottenham Hotspur
What a result for Spurs after the Bianconeri made such an explosive start. Gonzalo Higuain finished superbly on two minutes and then doubled his tally from the spot just seven minutes later. He should have had a hat-trick, firing just wide soon after, but Spurs stuck to their task and were rewarded when Harry Kane bagged his 33rd goal of the season in all competitions.
Higuain had a golden chance to restore the two-goal lead but crashed his second penalty against the bar. And while Juve had the lions’ share of the second half, Spurs stunned the home crowd when Christian Eriksen fired a free-kick low into the corner on 72 minutes. Game on in London!
