"Manchester City are aware of an alleged assault after the match at the Veltins-Arena in Germany last night," said a club statement.

"The club are working with Greater Manchester Police and German Police to ascertain more information.

"Club staff have remained in Germany to support the family of an injured City fan who is currently in a critical condition in hospital."

Pep Guardiola's team won the match 3-2 thanks to strikes from Sergio Aguero, Leroy Sane and Raheem Sterling - the latter two goals coming after Nicolas Otamendi received a second-half red card.
