Manchester City confirm that the plane transporting the first team from Lisbon has landed safely despite high winds forcing a diversion.

Manchester City have confirmed that the plane transporting the first team from Lisbon has landed safely despite high winds forcing a diversion.

The Citizens produced a five-star performance in the Portuguese capital last night, beating Sporting Lisbon 5-0 in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie.

After a period of rest and recovery this morning, City's first-team squad and staff then boarded a plane in the afternoon, which was due to land in Manchester.

However, due to high winds on their return, they were forced to divert to Liverpool where they have landed safely, as confirmed by the club.

A statement from @ManCity on Twitter reads: "We can confirm the plane transporting the first team home from Lisbon has landed safely in Liverpool, after high winds forced a diversion from Manchester."

Pep Guardiola's men will now prepare for Saturday evening's Premier League clash with Tottenham Hotspur at the Etihad Stadium. body check tags ::
