The former Borussia Dortmund midfielder struck twice to hand the hosts the points and take them a step further to the knockout round of the Champions League

Ilkay Gundogan struck twice as Manchester City beat Barcelona 3-1 at the Etihad on Tuesday evening.

Lionel Messi opened the scoring with a well-taken effort following a slick Barcelona counter-attack, before the Germany international levelled the scoring.

Kevin de Bruyne then gave City the lead with a free kick, before Gundogan added a third to secure the points for Pep Guardiola against his former side.
