It's all over in Spain.

Sevilla fans will be furious with their team's performance, whilst Manchester  City barely got out of first gear. 

90+2: Sevilla 0 Manchester City 4

Cancelo hammers a ball across the box and Ruben Dias hammers into an empty net from six yards.

86 min: Sevilla 0 Manchester City 3

Into the final few minutes here

Cancelo takes a shot and Sevilla launch a counter. 

However, it comes to nothing and City are four minutes away from a win. 

84 min: Sevilla 0 Manchester City 3 

First attempt for Sevilla on goal and it's come in the 84th minute

Suso twists and fires a shot straight to Ederson. 

A easy save for the Brazilian keeper. 

82 min: Sevilla 0 Manchester City 3 

Things aren't going too well for Sevilla this season. 

They have only picked up a single point from their first four games this season in La Liga and now Manchester City have come to visit. 

80 min: Sevilla 0 Manchester City 3

Suso breaks down the right-hand side and Gomez averts the danger.

It was offside anyway, but the summer signing has shown his worth tonight.

Into the final 10 minutes now. Will there be a fourth?

78 min: Sevilla 0 Manchester City 3 

Pep Guardiola makes further substitutions as Kalvin Phillips comes on for his European debut and Riyad Mahrez is also on.

Too easy for City...

70 min: Sevilla 0 Manchester City 3

No hat-trick for Erling Haaland as Guardiola replaces him with Julian Alvarez.

Cole Palmer is on for Phil Foden.

68 min: Sevilla 0 Manchester City 3 

Yep, Erling Haaland again

And yet again, he is in the right place at the right time 

Make that 12 in 7 so far this season for the 22-year old 

GOAAAAAALLLLL

Sevilla 0 Manchester City 3 (Haaland)

60 min: Sevilla 0 Manchester City 2 

You feel Phil Foden really needed that goal, even though he has started each game this season. 

He hasn't had the goal involvements to justify his place at times and has faced criticism for it. 

That's exactly what he needs to keep doing

58 min: Sevilla 0 Manchester City 2 

Phil Foden is just too good. It starts with Cancelo cuting the ball back to the forward.  

The England international shuffles the ball past a defender - and then the other way - and suddenly pings the ball into the bottom corner from 16 yards.

The Keeper had no chance. 

GOOAAAALLLLLL

Sevilla 0 Manchester City 2 (Foden)

You feel that's game over? 

55 min: Sevilla 0 Manchester City 1

Former Manchester City player Navas find space on the right channel and is able to whip a ball into City's danger area- Edderson is able to get down to the ball and clear his line. 

52 min: Sevilla 0 Manchester City 1

City devastatingly hit the hosts on the counter, with Cancelo picking up the ball on the edge of the penalty area. 

But the Portuguese full-back scuff his shot and it trickles behind for a Sevilla goal kick.  

 

51 min: Sevilla 0 Manchester City 1

Manchester City hit Sevilla on break, as Haaland slots in De Bruyne in behind for a one-on-one. 

However, the Belgian slightly mishits the ball and Sevilla goalkeeper Bounou makes a great save to deny Manchester City their second. 

49 min: Sevilla 0 Manchester City 1 

It's Sevilla who have mounted the first attack of the second-half, finding substitute Rafa Mir on the penalty spot.

However, Manchester City clear their lines but it's a good start from Sevilla.

47 min: Sevilla 0 Manchester City 1 

Julen Lopetegui blinks first- Sevilla bring on former Wolves and Nottingham Forest forward Rafa Mir.

HT: Sevilla 0 Manchester City 1 

For city fans, it may only be a 1-0 lead for their side, but it's a comfortable 1-0.

44 min: Sevilla 0 Manchester City 1

Yet again, some brilliant link-up play between De Bruyne and Haaland. 

The Belgian cuts the ball back to Haaland but Thomas Delaney throws himself at it before the striker can reach it.

42 min: Sevilla 0 Manchester City 1 

You feel, the only option that Sevilla have on scoring tonight is from set pieces or free kicks. 

And now they have a chance from the free-kick to level. 

Thomas Delaney lays the ball off to Papu Gomez, who hammers a shot high and wide.

37 min: Sevilla 0 Manchester City 1

It hasn't been all one way traffic, as we approach half time in Spain.

I'm not sure if the hosts are waiting for their opportunity to strike, but with Erling Haaland able to score at any second, that might be a risky strategy. 

34 min: Sevilla 0 Manchester City 1 

The new boys in Gomez and Akanji have started well for the visitors. 

They seem to be fitting into Manchester City's system well and look confident in possession.  

31 min: Sevilla 0 Manchester City 1

Yet again, De Bruye sends another into the side netting. 

It was a long range out, but you wouldn't bet on the Belgian scoring from that distance. 

Manchester City might not be at their vintage best, but they fully deserve their lead. 

29 min: Sevilla 0 Manchester City 1 

It was close again for the visitors.

Kevin de Bruyne who has started well for the Manchester City,  steps up for a free-kick on the corner of the box and curls it into the side-netting.

25 min: Sevilla 0 Manchester City 1

Haaland is going to score that goal so many times this season for Manchester City.

He's just always alive in that area- and Sevilla can't say they weren’t warned with De Bruyne and Foden always getting the ball on the right and putting a few decent crosses in already.

The Sevilla fans haven't stopped singing even when Haaland scored, but the task facing their side now has got significantly harder.

20 min: Sevilla 0 Manchester City 1 

Who else? 

But Erling Haaland makes it 1-0 to Manchester City from close range.

This  very much trademark Haaland - and there is no surprise to see him convert from that distance. Of course Kevin de Bruyne was, predictably and supplied the Norwegian. 

GOOOAAAALLLL

Sevilla 0 Manchester City 1 (Haaland)

18 min: Sevilla 0 Manchester City 0 

Muted appeal for a penalty by Manchester City 

Foden waltzes inside the box and goes down under a tame challenge 

Referee ushers him to his feet

15 min: Sevilla 0 Manchester City 0

The Manchester City captain fires one over the crossbar.

But it was neat build up play involving both Haaland and Foden.

12 min: Sevilla 0 Manchester City 0

It's been alittle scrappy so far from City, with Sevilla making a great atmosphere and their team look more composed than the visitors. There are already signs, though, that if City put their foot on the ball they'll be able to play through Sevilla - and silence those home fans. 

Haaland glances wide after combining with De Bruyne for a first attempt.

10 min: Sevilla 0 Manchester City 0

Sevilla are feeling confident, as they pass the ball across the goalline and the six-yard box

8 min: Sevilla 0 Manchester City 0

Kevin de Bruyne crosses to Erling Haaland loses his marker and glances his header just wide of the post 

The visitors have started well. 

5 min: Sevilla 0 Manchester City 0 

At the other end, debutant Akanji is called upon to clear their lines for City 

It's not been a fluent start to the game from the visitors. 

A little bit of pin-ball in possession.

2 min: Sevilla 0 Manchester City 0 

Bernardo gets going with a driving run for City on the left-hand side.

However, surprisingly there is no end product from the City man.

Kick off

Manchester City get us underway, Pep Guardiola's side are wearing their crimson shorts to go with the Blue home kit that fans have been keen to see.

While, Sevilla are in their home shirt of white with red pinstripes. 

We are moments away..

There's a light show before kick off to the sounds of the Greatest Showman. Sevilla fans are thankfully doing their best to drown it out.

Erling Haaland gets LOTS of whistles as his name is read out, as does Kevin De Bruyne. 

Rio Ferdinand speaking on BT Sport about Erling Haaland

You need luck along the way and they have had some moments where they haven't had any [to win the Champions League]. They havee also lacked that other way of winning where you claw in and find a way. I look at them now and Haaland brings them goals, but he also brings a character and personality. There is an edge and aggression to him. Listen they are all great players, but I look for that devilment sometimes.

Not a bad venue for some Champions League football tonight..

A big night for Jack Grealish

Even though, the 26-year old is just returning from injury, you feel it is an important night for him.  He was great in pre-season but lost his place through injury and needs to show the same attacking intent he did a few weeks ago to ensure he keeps that place going forward.

Almost a year ago, Grealish got a goal and assist on his Champions League debut and that’s how his record remains. He'd do his chances no harm if he could get among the goals tonight.
