Pep Guardiola on Erling Haaland being fit to play 👇
“Yesterday, I saw the training session, how he moved.
“And he feels good so I said okay.
“He felt good so okay he’s going to play. Now take a rest for Sunday.”

Pep Guardiola on qualifying for the knockout stages 👇
“Sometimes you have to fight against what people think about it.
“People say we are going to qualify for sure.

Jack Grealish on the influence of Pep Guardiola 👇
“Pep gives us so much.
“In my opinion he’s the best manager in the world. He’s shown that over the years.
“You can have the best manager in the world, but you also need the team and dressing room to do that.
“We have a brilliant team, on the pitch and also off the pitch, we have a team that is so close.
“We love being with each other and we love playing with each other and that shows on the pitch.”
Jack Grealish on qualifying for the knockout phase 👇
“That’s what we wanted to do.
“Every year we have so many games as a team.
“Most of the time we’re in most competitions, so to qualify with two games to spare, that’s what we wanted to do, that was our aim.”
Tonight’s victory over Young Boys extended our unbeaten run in Europe to 18 matches, too – a new record for English sides.
We move beyond the current West Ham team, who lost in the Europa League last time out to end a 17-match run that had already eclipsed Chelsea (2019), Leeds (1968) and Tottenham Hotspur (1972).
Well done City!
City’s 3-0 win over Young Boys at the Etihad Stadium tonight was also our 100th in major European competitions.
Having taken 183 matches, we are the second quickest of the six English sides to reach the century of wins.
52 of those victories have come under the watch of current boss Pep Guardiola, who guided us to our maiden Champions League triumph last season.
Liverpool are the quickest English side to win 100 times in Europe, taking 170 games, while we have narrowly pipped Tottenham Hotspur to the post, with the North London club needing 184 fixtures.
The remaining English sides are Manchester United (191), Chelsea (192) and Arsenal (209).
Our victory tonight over Young Boys ensures we’ve made it through to the knockout stages of the Champions League for the 11th successive season.
Congratulations to Pep and the team on this hugely impressive milestone.
The Champions of Europe cruised past Young Boys 3-0 to ensure progress into the knockout phases of the 2023/24 competition.
Goals from Erling Haaland (2) and Phil Foden saw off the Swiss side in front of 51,049 at the Etihad, meaning we’ve made into February’s Round of 16 with two games still to play.
