"It was really good, after I was a little disappointed in [the 2-2 draw against] Monaco. Today, to play a team in the Spanish league is so difficult, I know from my experience. And Villarreal in the last, I don't know the last 23 times they have been 17 or 18 times in Europe. That shows how good they are and how many good things they do. The manager, Marcelino, is a top, top class manager."
"Last season was not good but I think our numbers in the Champions League in the last year is not bad. Personally, my numbers in the Champions League are not bad. But last season was a difficult season for us. But the vibe and the way the team is behaving and playing, it makes me feel fine."
"I'm pretty sure that 90% of the people when they see Rico [Lewis] line up, the said 'what is the reason?'"
"I love that player. These type of players, I adore them. Defensively and offensively,"
Manchester City beat Villarreal 2-0 at Estadio de la Ceramica, with Erling Haaland scoring and Bernardo Silva adding a second before half-time. Haaland scored for the 12th consecutive game, reaching 24 goals this season for club and country. The win ended a 12-month Champions League away winless run and extended City's unbeaten run to nine matches in all competitions. The victory moved City up to fifth in the Champions League group standings. Last season's Champions League form was acknowledged as disappointing, but overall Champions League figures were described as not bad and team morale appeared positive. English youngster Rico Lewis provided the assist for Haaland's goal and received praise for defensive and offensive contributions.
