'The target was to qualify'
FT: Man City 1-1 Shakhtar Donetsk

Manchester City

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola told BT Sport: "We qualify and we played well in the
second half. The second half was better than the first. We conceded only a few counter attacks.

"I've played against Shakhtar Donetsk many times and they always have quality players In
 I ve played against Shakhtar Donetsk many times and they always have quality players. In
general, we created chances but the draw was enough in the end. Now we have one competition
already done, and now our focus will be the Premier League, until we arrive in the cups. The
target was to qualify and we have done it."

'I had a fast player down my side'
FT: Man City 1-1 Shakhtar Donetsk

Manchester City

Manchester City defender Angelino told BT Sport: "It was a tough night. It was good to play,
even though we didn’t get the result we wanted, but we are top of the group. We have to take
the positives and keep improving."

"I had a fast player on my side, but at this level, everyone can give you a tough time. Their game
plan was to play long balls in the first half but we improved in the second. My focus is to enjoy
every chance and hopefully the team will keep playing well.

'We let them play'
FT: Man City 1-1 Shakhtar Donetsk

Manchester City

Man City midfielder Ilkay Gundogan told BT Sport: "Gabby [Jesus] kept the ball for me and
then it was not too difficult to score. Unfortunately, we got a draw which we have to accept but
we qualify as group winners which is the most important thing. We knew this game would be
tough. We let them play and didn’t defend as well as we normally do, so we struggled to create.
It was not our best performance but this is the Champions League and it is a competition where
you have to struggle."

On City's season so far: "We are on the way. In the Premier League we are nine points behind the
leaders which is not what we are aiming for but this is the situation you have to deal with. We
have dropped unnecessary points in a few games already, and to remain at the top, you are not
allowed to. We need to be there if Liverpool slip and we are through in the Champions League,
but there is still plenty of work to improve. Not results, but more the way we play."

'We could not perform any worse'
Tottenham 4-2 Olympiakos

Tottenham Hotspur

Tottenham striker Harry Kane tells BT Sport: "It was a disappointing start, we know that and
did not come out with any energy and they got the two goals and put us under pressure, it was
an uphill struggle but we go the goals and it feels good to qualify.

"We needed to be calm especially aer scoring. We did not have to rush it and we had a bit of
freedom and enjoy it a bit more.

On beating Alessandro del Piero's record to score 20 goals in fewest games: "Not a bad player to
beat. It was about qualifying, no matter how we did it but we had to win and we did that. We can
enjoy it and try and deep the momentum for Saturday."

Tottenham midfielder Dele Alli: "We did not start nowhere near good enough and we said at
half-time we could not perform any worse. I got the goal, which was a bit lucky, but we won.

"We were losing and the manager made the decision to bring on a more forward thinking player
(in Christian Eriksen). It could have been any of us to come off in that first 20 minutes but
thankfully the sub worked."

'More dynamic'
FT: Tottenham 4-2 Olympiakos

Karen Carney
Former England winger on BBC Radio 5 Live

In possession, Tottenham were more dynamic and moved it quicker. Christian Eriksen was
superb and it would be massive to keep him.

Dele Alli was trying his flicks and tricks and that is when you know he is on it. Even the crowd
changed and there were just two different teams.

I'm going to ask you this today so you can screenshot it and save it for another day, maybe in
May.

Jose Mourinho will win the Champions League with Tottenham this season.

Thumbs up for yes, thumbs down for no.

'Way below their best'
FT: Man City 1-1 Shakhtar Donetsk

Pat Nevin
Former Chelsea and Scotland winger on BBC Radio 5 Live

Man City were way below their best tonight. they have done just about enough to get through
without any real damage.

The next game, they can send out a young team and rest the players they wanted to. It's kind of
what Pep Guardiola wanted.

Vin: Mourinho HAS to keep Eriksen at all costs. Single-handedly turned the game around.

Chris: If Mourinho can sort the defence out this is still a very good Spurs side. No reason why
they can’t go on a run now and get back towards that top 4
