The win means Man City have gone 26 games unbeaten in the Champions League, the longest unbeaten run in the competition's history, breaking the previous record of 25 games unbeaten held by Man Utd from 2007 to 2009.
Man City's current record in the Champions League dates back to the 2022-23 season, when Pep Guardiola's side convincingly won the title.
Although Man City only reached the quarter-finals last season due to being eliminated after two draws with Real Madrid leading to defeats in penalty shootouts, The Citizens are still technically unbeaten as penalties do not count.
With their current form, the Etihad team is fully capable of extending their unbeaten streak, so fans will have to wait a long time to see another team break this record.
As for striker Erling Haaland, the Norwegian striker has now scored 44 goals in the Champions League after just 42 matches, one more than star duo Neymar and Robert Lewandowski. He is also only one goal away from the top 15 scorers in the C1 Cup and Champions League.
