There’s quite a few quotes to get through tonight – here’s your City Summary:
First up is Sergio Aguero, who said that the support of the fans spurred them on to victory over Barcelona. He also denied claims of handball for City’s third:

What spurred Raheem Sterling on to join Manchester City? According to the winger, it was the calibre of players he could play alongside:

Vincent Kompany is yet to hit full fitness but that won’t start him receiving an international call-up. Thankfully, Roberto Martínez won’t risk his fitness:

Jose Mourinho made the mistake of letting Kevin De Bruyne go, however the Belgian doesn’t care that he didn’t impress the former Chelsea boss:
