"I think we started very well, the first fifteen minutes. We had possession and control of the game, but during the first half, they increased the speed, and you saw the quality. You can't make any mistakes against these top players. We should be better, but it's a learning experience for us. We're here to learn, but also congratulations to City."
"We knew City are a top team, and it's hard to get any opportunities to score against them. When you get these opportunities, you must be very accurate. That was the difference between the sides. They had the same moments; Foden scored two goals. We had some good moments, but we need to continue the process."
Manchester City beat Borussia Dortmund 4-1 at the Etihad, with Phil Foden scoring a brace and Erling Haaland netting against his former club. Waldemar Anton reduced the deficit in the 72nd minute, and Rayan Cherki added an injury-time goal to restore a three-goal margin. Dortmund conceded three goals away to English opposition again, marking their seventh loss in eight Champions League away matches versus Premier League clubs and conceding at least twice in each. Lack of clinical finishing and mistakes at key moments proved decisive, leaving Dortmund 14th in the group and City on ten points.
