Manchester City beat Porto 2-0 away in their Champions League opener, with Erling Haaland scoring twice after missing several first-half chances, sealing the win in stoppage time and handing new head coach Enzo Maresca his first Champions League victory in the dugout.

Thinking five years out, it's about how Maresca builds on this result. In development, a manager's first win often becomes confidence for the whole squad. No need to rush it — I want to watch his approach take root.
Scoring in the Dragon's Den is cool by itself. Porto's end was probably louder, but noise doesn't decide everything. The city smells different on the road, and Haaland just shut it up. That's enough for me.
Bottom line first: City win big thanks to Haaland's brace. But more than the score, those missed first-half chances bothered me. Looking at the full 90, the difference in this game was whether he could flip the switch after the break. A perfect start for Maresca, I'd say.
