Manchester City kept their Champions League campaign alive by coming from behind to beat Club Brugge 3-1 in a nervous must-win match on Wednesday.

The victory in their league-phase finale secured Pep Guardiola's men a spot in the two-legged play-off knockout round.

Second-half goals from Mateo Kovacic and substitute Savinho - both set up by John Stones - and an own goal from Brugge's Joel Ordonez, were enough to get the job done.

Brugge stunned the Etihad Stadium crowd seconds before half-time when Ferran Jutgla beat Matheus Nunes before sending in a long cross that Raphael Onyedika smashed into the back of the net.

Kovacic levelled in the 53rd minute when he dribbled through the heart of Brugge's defence before unleashing a shot from the edge of the 18-yard box into the bottom corner.

City went ahead nine minutes later when Ordonez slid to block Josko Gvardiol's cross but knocked it into his own net.

And then Savinho added a third in the 77th minute to seal victory when Stones played a pinpoint cross-field ball that the Brazilian chested down before firing it past keeper Simon Mignolet.

Data Debrief: City are comeback kings

This was only the second time a team managed by Guardiola failed to have a first-half shot on target in a Champions League group stage/league phase home game (the other match was also with Manchester City against Borussia Dortmund in 2022).

But City found a way to recover after the break and have remarkably now won nine of the last 10 Champions League home games in which they conceded first, drawing the other.

The Citizens have now won six games overall this season after going 1-0 behind, more than any other Premier League team in all competitions.

And they have now progressed from the Champions League group stage/league phase in each of the last 12 seasons, with Bayern Munich, Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain the only other teams to do so in each campaign since 2013-14.
