#2 FC Basel shows how it is done against Manchester City

Manchester City v FC Basel - UEFA Champions League Round of 16: Second Leg
FC Basel scripted a remarkable comeback victory against Premier League leaders City.

After handing Basel a drubbing during the first leg, this game was just a mere formality for City. The team management went for major changes with the likes of Kevin De Bruyne and Sergio Aguero not featuring at all.

FC Basel came with the intent to put the Premier league leaders to the sword and they did exactly that. Although they had only 22 percent of possession, they were clinical in front of goal, scoring twice from their 3 shots on target.

Although the sky blues have been pretty decent defensively, they have had their moments of weakness. The loss to Liverpool at Anfield being a prime example of that. Thus, having a go at them with purpose reaps rich dividends, something all of their European rivals should be aware of.
