- It was a great performance by every player. We fought from the first to the last minute. We played well both with and without the ball. Erling was incredible, everyone saw his exceptional performance.

Five goals in 60 minutes! A fantastic guy, a huge talent. The strength and mentality - a natural winner, he's very good.

I don't think I missed goals like that in previous seasons. The reason is that many goals were given to the opponent. We scored four goals against Real Madrid, six against Monaco, and four against Tottenham. Most often we were relegated because we conceded a lot.

Now the guys are defending better. Before we had Sergio Aguero, he also had a great scoring instinct," said Josep Guardiola.
