Manchester City beat Galatasaray in the Champions League on Wednesday night

Manchester City eased to victory over Galatasaray in their final Champions League match of the league phase - and the result carried them straight into the last-16.

Erling Haaland and Rayan Cherki scored in the first half to give Pep Guardiola's side an advantage they never looked like ceding at the Etihad. It was a welcome return to the goals for Haaland, who had not scored from open play in eight games prior to Wednesday's win.

The result was enough to help City into eighth spot in the League Phase table and secure a pass straight into the last-16. It means the Blues avoid a two-legged play-off tie next month.

The draw for the play-offs is on Friday with the draw for the last-16 taking place on February 27.

There will only be four possible opponents for City based on their finishing position. City know they will face either Real Madrid, Inter Milan, Bodo/Glimt or Benfica in the last-16.

That will depend on who comes through the play-off ties involving those clubs in February.
