Against all odds, and barely winning two games in their UEFA Champions League campaign, Manchester City made it through to the Round of 16 stage by defeating Roma 2-0 at Stadio Olimpico. This is the first European match the Citizens have won playing in Italy.
The first half of the match went by with chances for both teams, but neither side was able to break the deadlock. After the break, Samir Nasri scored the go-ahead goal for the Sky Blues, making things harder for Roma if they wanted to advance to the next round. Just before the game came to an end, Pablo Zabaleta scored his second goal of the week to seal Man City's place in the next round. This was just the second clean sheet the Citizens have been able to maintain in their last UCL games, giving them the needed boost to win the group's second place.
Fans and trolls are having a blast after the current Premier League champions made it through the next round. Want to watch some of the fuzz created by them? Read below!
Always be yourself unless you can be Pablo Zabaleta then always be Pablo Zabaleta...

There's a man who is entitled to kiss the badge: Pablo Zabaleta. Top player.
