The game was delayed for some time before García was taken off on a stretcher.
This performance was decorated by an imperious Kevin De Bruyne and, after the three-month coronavirus-induced pause, suggests Pep Guardiola’s team can be optimistic about retaining the FA Cup and their tilt at a first Champions League glory.
