Manchester City romped to a 6-3 win in their Champions League opener against Red Bull Leipzig on Wednesday evening.

Nathan Ake, Nordi Mukiele (OG), Riyad Mahrez, Jack Grealish, Joao Cancelo and Gabriel Jesus all found themselves on the scoresheet as they hit their German opponents for six.

Cancelo's goal was brilliant.

The Portuguese full-back picked the ball up roughly 25 yards out, took a touch and then struck a beautiful strike that fizzed past Péter Gulácsi and into the net.

But arguably the goal of the night was scored by Grealish.

He picked the ball up on the left-hand side in the 56th minute.

"I had the feeling that every day he is playing better in many things. I'm pretty sure that he will be better in the future and his contribution was high, it was good and I'm delighted for his game."

He told BT Sport, per Sky Sports: "I loved it. I couldn't wait for it. It was one of those games that had absolutely everything. We're obviously delighted to get the win against a good team, full of energy. To come away with the three points but also a goal and an assist, I'm delighted personally.

"When I'm in that position off the left-hand side running into the opposition area, I'd back myself one-on-one against anyone to have a go and this time it paid off.

"As soon as the game kicked off, I actually thought to myself, 'I've played in the Champions League now!' The music and everything was so nice and the game topped it all off."
