That made it 13 league goals for the prolific striker in just 10 appearances and he will be seeking to maintain his record of scoring in every Champions League game so far this season having netted against Napoli, Monaco and Villarreal.
Dortmund, meanwhile, kept their seventh clean sheet of the campaign in the win over Augsburg on Friday night but have looked rather leaky defensively outside of Germany.
The Bundesliga side, who reached the final of this competition in the 2023-24 season, have already conceded seven times in three Champions League outings, though are above Man City by virtue of a superior goal difference.
