"It's a tough place to come. We played really good, At the end, they had one or two chances, but we played a fantastic game. A good step for us in this tournament. It's good that not just Erling scored, and we had more chances for others, impact from Rayan Cherki and Tijjani Reijnders was good too. [We were] a little disappointed with result in Monaco. We created chances and didn't win, and played the same, but [on Tuesday] got the goals."

"I'm sure that 90% of people see Rico Lewis line up there and know what he will do. I love this player. I love this type of player - offensively, defensively. He knows perfectly when he has to move, and I'm really pleased with his game."
Manchester City won 2-0 at Villarreal's Estadio de la Ceramica, with Erling Haaland and Bernardo Silva scoring in the first half. Rico Lewis set up Haaland with a precise cut-back after 17 minutes, and Savinho's clipped cross created space for Silva to nod home five minutes before half-time. Rayan Cherki and Tijjani Reijnders provided useful impact after coming on. Villarreal produced late chances but failed to score. The victory ended a run of five Champions League away games without a win (D1 L4) and was City’s first away European win since October 1, 2024.
