Match Day Centre | Man City v Newcastle - 16 Mar 2024 | Manchester City FC - Official Website of Man City F.C. Manchester City FC - Official Website of Man City F.C.

That's all for our Matchday Centre coverage this evening - thanks for joining us and stick around for a full Pep Guardiola press conference break down, Phil Foden interview and we'll have a full selection of highlights from midday (UK) Sunday. Our next game is the small matter of Arsenal at the Etihad after the international break... until then, take care!

"It sounds really good. I know we play to win the finals, but to win it, you have to win the earlier rounds. We won four Carabao Cup finals in a row and now we're in six FA Cup semi-finals in a row. To run and play the way they did is incredible, congratulations to the team, no one has done that before.

"We played really well, we were so sfae with the ball. Mateo, Rodri and Bernardo kept the ball so well. The game was really good.

"You see us when we come back every three days, three days, three days, three days, we need Kevin, Jack and Erling to come back in the best possible conditions."

Words from Pep  coming up...

There was another Premier League game going on while we were playing - and it ended with a 3-0 win for Fulham against Spurs...

“We tried our very best to force them into mistakes, but they didn’t. They were very good. Conceding the two goals that we did didn’t help our cause.

“It was an uphill battle. We covered a lot of ground, but when we had our moments our last pass was lacking.

“The difference is their technical quality and their players who can get out of tight situations – it’s at the highest level. We’re trying to get to their level.

“We’ve got 10 massive games left and are only a few points below seventh place [in the Premier League], so we’re looking to end the season on a high.”

"I don't know what to say. Playing Manchester City is difficult at any time. The football gods were against us with the two goals.

"We can't feel sorry for ourselves - it just feels the luck hasn't gone our way this season in the big moments."

"It felt good, I'm happy with the performance of my team, the performance of myself. I feel like I'm getting better and better. We scored important goals, we defended well, attacked well, very happy.

"We were in control but you never know with the counter attacks, they have some fast players and they want to run in behind. The [defenders] did well today."

 “I thought we controlled the game really well. We had a lot of the ball and tried to find the right moment to attack, and I think we did that really well.

“We were always talking about [winning more trophies]. The hunger’s still there. We’ll keep going.

“It’s one of the best squads I’ve ever seen. At this stage of the season we’re going to need everyone.”

"I’m jut playing with a smile on my face and hopefully I’ll continue to do that.”
