Erling Halland, the league’s leading scorer, was out due to injury. Argentina’s Julian Alvarez and Algeria’s Riyad Mahrez both put up strong performances and scored goals, but the young Louis stood out as the game’s most notable player.
City included the lead of Group Seven and Seville settled third before today’s match, which prompted City coach Pep Guardiola to make seven changes to his basic squad, and the right -back Lewis, 17, did not waste the opportunity he obtained at Al -Ittihad stadium and shake the net.
Rafa Mir’s intricate header past Stephen Ortega, the backup goalkeeper, gave Seville the lead in the 31st minute, while the landowner struggled to look good against the Spanish squad.
Between the two halves, Guardiola removed his player Jacques Grilliche and pressed Bruderi to improve the performance of the squad that had now lost 23 consecutive games in the Champions League.
But in the 52nd minute, Lewis, who started the game next to Cole Palmer, 20, consummated the tie when he launched a shot with his right foot, using a pass from Alvarez to throw the ball into Moroccan goalkeeper Yassin Bono of Seville.
Lewis scored a goal in the Champions League at the age of 17 years and 346 days, breaking Karim Benzema’s previous record of 17 years and 352 days with Olympique Lyon.
He’s a goal, remarked Guardiola. “He is a fantastic and wise player who comprehends everything.
“In the first half, the players made an effort. We scored several excellent goals in the second, which was better. I’m delighted for everybody.
”
Alvarez, who started his fourth straight encounter in the Champions League, was perhaps City’s finest player.
The second goal was added by the 22-year-old ex-River Plate midfielder in the 73rd minute when goalie Puno drew and struck the goalkeeper following a superb ball from the substitute Kevin de Bruyne.
With City’s dominance, Mehrez decided to win a wonderful touch of another pass from Alvarez.
With nine points in second place, Borussia Dortmund advanced to the round of sixteen after City won the group with 14 points.
When City defeated Seville over three days, Rico Lewis stood out.
