MANCHESTER CITY produced a demolition by the Danube to secure their first Champions League win this season.
In a mis-match of embarrassing proportions for UEFA, the champions of England left the champions of Slovakia wishing they had had not qualified for the competition.
Bratislava is known as the Little Big City and it was blindingly obvious who were the giants and minnows in the Slovakian capital last night.
To put the game into context, the biggest transfer fee Slovan Bratislava have paid is £850,000, which Erling Haaland earns in less than three weeks.
So it came as no surprise when Pep Guardiola's superstars ran riot to secure three of the easiest points in their European history.
This might have been City's first game in Slovakia, but it was the host's first home match in club football's greatest competition.
