Manchester City thrashed Steaua Bucharest 5-0 on their travels to virtually seal the tie, despite the return leg in England next week.
The emphatic victory included two missed penalties from star talisman Sergio Aguero, a hat-trick from the Argentinean, 24 chances in total and City hitting the woodwork four times.
It was nothing short of a demolition job and could have been more not for the inspired form of Steaua goalkeeper Florin Nita.
Aguero’s evening was a mixed bag, guilty of missing two spot spot kicks, only to make amends with a hat-trick to confirm his incredible goalscoring prowess.
On his day, the striker is arguably the best in the world and he showcased just why with a bizarre but fruitful outing.
Here are some of the best reactions from Twitter following Augero’s heroics:

Aguero is the fucking bollocks, easily my favourite non-Arsenal player in the Prem.

Aguero completes his hat-trick following 2 penalty misses. Great players never allow misses to affect them.

Joe Hart could take penalties couldn't he?
