Manchester City secures 2-0 Champions League win over Napoli with Haaland and Doku goals

Manchester City secured a 2-0 victory over Napoli in the UEFA Champions League, with standout performances from Erling Haaland and Belgian-Ghanaian winger Jeremy Doku. Haaland broke the game open by scoring his 50th Champions League goal in a record 49 matches, while Doku dazzled with a brilliant individual goal that extended the lead. The match was heavily influenced by Napoli captain Giovanni Di Lorenzo's early red card, which forced Napoli to play with ten men and led to tactical changes including the early withdrawal of Kevin De Bruyne, who made a brief return to Manchester City. Despite Napoli's goalkeeper Vanja Milinkovic-Savic making several impressive saves, City dominated the second half, with Doku's quick feet and precise finishing sealing the win. Phil Foden also impressed, continuing his strong form following recent performances. The victory marked a strong start to Manchester City's Champions League campaign under Pep Guardiola, with attacking dominance and clinical finishing against a depleted Napoli side.
