However, Guardiola will be fully aware that this tie is still finely poised heading into the second leg. And the City boss will need more from his side in an attacking sense in order to make it through to the Champions League final.
Erling Haaland was unusually quiet throughout the match at the Etihad while Jack Grealish had a tough night in trying to affect the game on the left. Bernardo Silva also seemed more busy in his own half than trying to make things happen down the other end.
But if Walker has another night where he’s able to keep Vinicius Jr frustrated for most of the match then City’s chances will be increased exponentially.
