Erling Haaland
who was the top scorer last season with 8 goals, warmed up his toes from the opening game.
Holland scored multiple goals with two powerful left-footed shots from the first game.
And Rodri, the hero of last season’s UEFA Champions League final winner brought home the game with a second-half wedge goal.
City took the lead four minutes into the first half.
After a short run from a corner kick, De Bruyne’s cross from the right flank was deflected into the net by Rodri, who curled a left-footed shot into the net in front of goal.
In the 36th minute of the first half, after taking the ball away from Burnley through forward pressure Walker’s cross from the right flank was received by Alvarez and laid off to Haaland, whose left-footed shot rattled the net with one touch.
Leading 4-36 afterwards, City continued to pound on the back of the net, but no further goals were scored.
Then, in the 2th minute of the second half, a cross from a free-kick on the left flank was stopped by the players in front of the goal as they contested it, and Rodri cleared it to drive a wedge into the game.
City got off to a good start with three points from the opening game.
But there was also something worrisome.
De Bruyne, who started the first 0 minutes, complained of discomfort and was replaced by Mateo Kovacic.
De Bruyne has also struggled in pre-season after suffering a hamstring injury in last season’s Champions League final.
He was featured in the opening game of this match, but again had to go to the bench due to injury.
Burnley, meanwhile, also lost a key player for their next game. Second-half extra-time substitute Anas Jarrouri was shown a red card after a VAR reading for a rough tackle on Walker while blocking an opponent’s counter-attack.
Jarowi will not be available for the home game against Aston Villa on the 30th.
