Manchester City’s 1-1 draw away at RB Leipzig in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League round of 16 tie just served to further underline how important Kevin De Bruyne is to his team. Pep Guardiola was without the Belgium international due to illness but had Erling Haaland in his side, although it was not enough for the Premier League titleholders to get the win. Riyad Mahrez stepped up to open the scoring at Red Bull Arena with a tidy finish after 27 minutes but that alone did not mean that De Bruyne did not leave a gaping hole in the side. Haaland tends to get more chances to score when the 31-year-old is pulling the strings and suffered particularly with just one scuffed effort to show for his night’s work against a team he normally dominates.
Guardiola’s combination of Mahrez, Jack Grealish and Bernardo did not come off, which made the decision to not at least send in Phil Foden or Julian Alvarez from the bench somewhat baffling. Mahrez came up clutch once again, though, as is often the case once the Champions League reaches the knockout phase. John Stones and Aymeric Laporte were not missed at the back for much of the game despite the aerial nature of Josko Gvardiola’s leveler 20 minutes from time. City even held Leipzig without conceding a shot for a full 45-minute period but the possession-based dominance that they exercised for most of the game was not enough to get the victory.
