Sporting CP Vs Manchester City, UCL 24/25: Gyokeres' Hat-Trick Helps Ruben Amorim Humiliate Pep Guardiola's Side

Sporting CP Best Manchester City: Ruben Amorim wins his first of many upcoming battles against Pep Guardiola, as Sporting CP thrash Manchester City at home.

Sporting CP Best Manchester City: Sporting CP have stunned Europe by humiliating Manchester City 4-1 in their UEFA Champions League 2024/25 Round 4 fixture. The win has surely delighted Manchester United fans, as this marked Ruben Amorim's last fixture with Sportig CP, as the Portuguese is all-set to take over the managerial reigns at the Old Trafford.

Sporting CP were too good for Manchester City, as they outclassed them in every department to seal a memorable win. It has been a forgettable week for Pep Guardiola’s men, who have now recorded three consecutive defeats in all competitions.

Their quadruple dream ended with their 2-1 defeat to Tottenham Hotspurs in the EFL Cup (their first defeat of the season); followed by a 2-1 defeat away at AFC Bournemouth (their first league defeat of the season); and now a 4-1 humbling at the hands of Sporting CP (their first UCL defeat of the season).

Viktor Gyokeres Shines In Drubbing Of Manchester City

The Swedish striker scored a sensational hat-trick to seal a comeback victory against 2023 UEFA Champions League winners. The visitors stunned the home fans at Estadio Jose Alvade in Lisbon, as Phil Foden capitalised on a defensive mistake to make it 1-0 for Manchester City inside 4 minutes of the first-half.

Viktor Gyokeres met the through-ball of Geovany Quenda and showed immense physical contact against the last defender to produce a sublime finish into the far corner of Ederson’s goal to make it 1-1.

The second-half got off to a flying start, as Sporting CP scored inside 20 seconds to take the lead. A perfect build-up starting from the kick-off, to the back, and Pedro Goncalves did well to find Maximiliano Araujo, who took a brilliant shot on the edge of Manchester City’s area that found the back of the net.

Things got bad to worse for Manchester City, as the hosts were awarded a penalty 3 minutes later, as Josko Gvardiol fouled Trincao inside the box, and the penalty was thumped-in by Viktor Gyokeres.

Erling Haaland’s miserable night saw him miss a crucial penalty, and the hosts made it 4-1 via another penalty, as Viktor Gyokeres completed his stunning hat-trick in the farewell match of their beloved manager, Ruben Amorim.
