Haaland double gives Manchester City ideal Champions League start in Porto

Erling Haaland scored twice as Manchester City beat Porto in their Champions League opener, claiming three points on the road. The victory was significant given City had lost six of their previous nine away games in the competition and had been beaten in the 2021 Champions League final at the same venue. Manager Enzo Maresca secured a morale-boosting win despite difficult conditions, with rain falling throughout the match.
