‘We lost a gem’- Man City fans react as it took Joao Cancelo just 17 minutes to record a stunning assist for Bayern Munich

Joao Cancelo wasted no time in making an impact on his Bayern Munich debut as he registered a stunning assist.

Cancelo joined the German giants on loan from Manchester City until the end of the season after falling out of favour with Pep Guardiola.

A day after completing his move to the Bundesliga outfit, he was handed his first start in their DFB-Pokal cup clash against Mainz on Wednesday.

And he took just 17 minutes to influence the game as he set up Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting with a glorious assist.

The Portuguese international received the ball on the right wing and brilliantly created an opening.

He swung in a delightful ball into the box, with Choupo-Moting producing a tidy finish at the back post.

Bayern fans will be hoping it’s the first of many assists following his January switch from Man City.

Unsurprisingly, Cancelo’s exploits caught the attention of Man City fans, many of whom have even been expressing their thoughts and opinions.

@georgemcfc21: “Just knew this would happen.”

@muyiponpin: “We lost a gem”

@mcfcadam10: “Imagine telling someone this 5 days ago.”

@jfg96_: “Is this the part where everyone pretends like we weren’t right to get rid of a problem player?.”

@CastilloErling9: “No regrets lads stay strong 😭.”

@MCFCnish: “Making it more likely Bayern buy him”

@SamFree55640200: “This is good tbh, the better he does the more likely Bayern activate the buy clause for 70 mil”
