Manchester City 3-2 Bayern Munich (25 November, 2014)
For all of their impressiveness domestically, Manchester City found the going tough on the continent and failed to progress from the group stage in each of their first two appearances in the Champions League.
They broke their duck in the 2013/2014 season but were in danger of once again crashing out in the group stage a year later.
Having been drawn with Bayern Munich, AS Roma, and CSKA Moscow, City failed to win any of their first four matches and were bottom of the table heading into their matchday 5 clash with Bayern.
Anything other than a victory would have put paid to their European ambitions and that seemed to be the case when Bayern led 2-1 at half-time despite being a man down.
However, with just five minutes left on the clock, City completed a stirring comeback, with Sergio Aguero levelling from the spot and scoring his hat-trick in injury time to give the Cityzens hope.
They followed this up with another emphatic display away at Roma, winning 2-0 at the Stadio Olimpico to progress to the knockout round.
