Man City v Galatasaray - 28 Jan 2026 Manchester City FC - Official Website of Man City F.C.

He's a special talent in terms of how much he can create in the final third especially. He's young, willing to learn and a good kid so we're happy to have him with us.

The City keeper was excellent once again this evening

Gundo and Leroy [Sane] are like brothers because the memories we have together are truly special. It's always nice to see these guys.

It's nice to have them here at home. It's their place a little even if they already left and I hope they feel that way as well.

With the schedule, with the amount of injuries we have at the minute, to have those two full weeks to prepare the team, to recover some players, to focus on other competitions for now is going to be really good.

We are happy, just very happy because we wanted to qualify in the top eight. With a bit of drama, we did it.

Overall very happy because we avoid two games.

With the schedule it's really important to do that. We need also to recover some players to arrive in the last months of the season.

What a difference a week (or so) makes.

Eight days ago I was in Bodo and things felt very different after that loss in Norway as we made our way back to Manchester.

But a fine Premier League win against Wolves at the weekend got our mojo back and tonight was a real solid professional night's work.

Lots of positives for Pep to reflect on.

The only downside was the injury to Jeremy Doku. Lets hope its nothing too serious.

So I don't know about you but that last 20 minutes was just a little nerve jangling.

We were so good for so much of the game but it just got a littler disjointed late on.

But all things considered we will take it - and the fact we avoid those two extra play off games in February is HUGE.
