City lined up in a 4-3-1-2 system towards West Ham, with Haaland partnering Omar Marmoush in assault and Antoine Semenyo as the quantity 10.

“It was a tricky outcome [in the first leg]. We won’t sit again and see what occurs, we’ll attempt to propulse, in respect for the followers. We have a group to attain two, three, 4.
“But if not, we still have the Premier League, the FA Cup, and next season we know what we will have to do, next season we will be back.”
