Borussia Dortmund 1-2 Man City (2-4 on agg): Riyad Mahrez and Phil Foden goals send English side into last four

With record-breaking Premier League titles and domestic cups aplenty to their name, City have conquered the English game under Guardiola. Another league crown is incoming and could well be garnished by a couple of domestic cups.In the build-up to Wednesday's second leg, the Spanish manager hinted at the Champions League aspirations that partly motivated his appointment, admitting that he will be seen as a failure if he fails to deliver the prize to the Etihad during his time at the club.

They may not be fielding a recognised striker in their biggest games at the moment, but in De Bruyne, Foden, Mahrez and Bernardo Silva they have a front four with the intelligence, skill and movement to pick apart any side on the continent. Not content with putting the ball in the net at one end, he proved equally adept at preventing goals going in at the other, positioning himself well to block Mahrez's shot from close range to preserve the lead.

Dortmund are likely to be set for a busy summer of their own unless they can somehow pull of a miracle finish to their domestic season.After both Bayern Munich and RB Leipzig made the Champions League semi-finals last season, no German side has reached the final four this term. Indeed, two English sides will appear in the semi-finals for the second time in the last three campaigns .

Dortmund have now scored in each of their last 40 matches across all competitions , with only their German counterparts Bayern Munich on a longer scoring run of all sides within the top five European leagues.

But should the penalty have been given? I think the ball hit the top of his arm. My BBC link is about Olympus Mons.
