A few things went against us today ... Take Hamsik, who missed a one-on-one with the keeper. But a lot of our players were below par. The team wasn’t very lucid. More often than not, teams who come to the Stadio San Paolo defend in an exaggerated manner. And sometimes we want to attack so much that we t...

Too many of us were not at our best
We’ve been a team that have been growing in strength over the last two years, and that’s been a beautiful thing
Today the glass is half empty ... We were spectacular in the first half but then in the second we paid for the fact we've had too many games recently. We should have kept our focus for the last 20 minutes. We were waning and that showed; when we were 3-1 up I thought we would win, even though we were ti...
I'm disappointed because I thought we had won it 3-1 and, to make it worse, one of our defenders helped in their third goal ... We had no luck.
The Bianconeri have one week to prepare for their games, we do not. They run 1000 kilometres an hour
I don’t talk about the performance only with regards to the result and in the first half we played well, although didn’t take our chances
Pandev was angry and perhaps he was right, as I could've kept him on for another 10 minutes
We weren't very clinical but we had the right attitude after the Manchester game. Sometimes the result arrives or doesn't but we did well today.
I don't just analyse the game on the result but also how we play and whether we're dangerous
We did something incredible in both games against Manchester City. The draw in England was fantastic with so many players making their Champions League debut but winning when you have only one result in mind, as we did tonight, is incredible
We were facing a very strong side in excellent form
At the start I was worried ... They looked strong, confident, I didn't think we would win, I thought it was a risky match, but the more the match was progressing, the team grew in confidence and the more I felt we could do it.
If we keep expressing ourselves at this level then I'm sure we'll win a lot of games
We’ll face this match aware we’ve just played a great match against Lazio, the second half in particular
Balotelli didn't play in the first leg, but Tevez played that match, now they'll have Balotelli instead of Tevez, that's how strong Manchester City are
When the group was drawn, I believe it was unthinkable that we would get to the fifth round of matches with still a good chance of qualifying
To be playing for a place against Manchester City gives us great satisfaction and I think is somewhat unexpected.
When the draw was made I though it would be impossible to reach the fifth round of games still with a chance of advancing ... That means we've done something extraordinary, and anything else that comes our way from hear on out will be gold.
They have improved since then but we know what do so and I believe that if we're careful enough we've got the cards to hurt them
There's a lot of talk about budgets, players' worth and salaries. They are on a level with Barcelona, Real Madrid and Chelsea — but the game is decided on the pitch and we're going to give them some bother ... If we then prevail, it will be a feat of feats.
Whatever happens we'll still at least be in the Europa League ... But they've got more pressure than we do. The other night against Newcastle they changed five players and it didn't affect the way they play — that alone shows you how strong Manchester is.
There's a lot of talk about budgets, players' worth and salaries. They are on a level with Barcelona, Real Madrid and Chelsea — but the game is decided on the pitch and we're going to give them some bother ... If we then prevail, it will be a feat of feats.
Clubs today are businesses and City are on the same level as Barcelona, Real Madrid and Chelsea
This squad is going through a growth phase and we're getting used to dealing with the double challenge of Serie A and the Champions League
