In the fourth round of the UEFA Champions League, Manchester City defeated Dortmund 4-1 and won three consecutive games in all competitions. This victory also gave Manchester City a shot in the arm before their crucial game against Liverpool. During the game, Manchester City showed a fiery offensive state. Foden scored twice, Haaland scored 1 goal, and Shirkey, who came off the bench, became the biggest highlight. Although he had just recovered from injury, he scored Manchester City's fourth goal of the game within 10 minutes of coming off the bench.

In the 79th minute of the game, Pep Guardiola replaced Savinho and Doku with Seat B and Serki respectively, intending to continue to strengthen the offense. And Shirki performed brilliantly after coming on the court. He won 2 ground battles, completed 1 successful pass, and ended the game with a beautiful shot. According to Opta statistics, Shirki played 268 minutes in all competitions this season, scored 3 goals, assisted 3 times, and participated in a total of 6 goals, averaging 1 goal every 45 minutes.

For Shelki, the past seven days have been quite exciting. In the League Cup against Swansea, Shirkey received his first starting opportunity after returning from injury. Not only did he score a goal, he also provided an assist for teammate Malmouche. More importantly, three days later, he provided two assists for Haaland in the Premier League against Bournemouth, helping the team achieve the most exciting victory of the season.

These performances made Shirki and many Manchester City fans ecstatic. This summer, when the team signed this extremely creative player for only 36.5 million euros, fans were already excited. After experiencing injuries at the beginning of the season, Shirki has now joined Manchester City's rotation and is getting better and better.

Haaland gave a very high evaluation to this new midfield teammate. He said: "Sergei has an indescribable special ability, a bit like Kevin (De Bruyne), who can send precise through balls no matter where he is on the court," Manchester City's No. 9 explained, "He is a special talent, and we need to help him grow further, because he can really become very good."

If Haaland praises you, then you must be doing a pretty good job. If he compared you to De Bruyne, that would be almost the highest compliment. Although Shirki missed six weeks due to injury after joining Manchester City, he was in hot form after his return, scoring 6 goals in 8 appearances, becoming De Bruyne's successor at the Etihad. Considering that Shirki's transfer fee is only 36.5 million euros, Manchester City will really make a lot of money by signing him this summer.
