Manchester City complete a great match as they win a really fun game vs. Galatasaray. Haaland, Doku and Cherki really shined and we hope the best for Doku as he came off early in this one. In the game, City took the peddle to the metal early and had two goals by halftime. A win that puts the club in the top eight and auto qualify fir the nest round, avoiding the extra set of games. A big win.
On to the reaction-
Pep Guardiola Reaction
“We’re really pleased to finish top eight considering how the Champions
League has become.
“When I started 16 or 17 years ago, qualification was not as difficult.
“Today, every team is really, really tough, and I’m really pleased and hopefully we can arrive in March in our best.
“We started really well and had chances. We had no proper holding midfielders there.
“Jeremy and Omar were excellent, but we had incredible chances and maybe we [could have] needed more goals to qualify.
“Not just that, that we’ve already qualified. Hopefully in that moment we can arrive better.
“Look how many incredible teams are out of the top 24 and how many are not in the top eight and still it’s the youngest team we have played in my years here in the Champions League.
“It’s a process to learn and hopefully Rodri, Marc and Semenyo will be back when we are there. That’s good news.”
“Really pleased to not play one knockout stage and hopefully we can arrive in March in our best.”
