Villarreal v City - 21 Oct 2025 Manchester City FC - Official Website of Man City F.C.

On the game: We felt in control. We’ve got to be harsh on ourselves, we want to win the competition. They had a few spells where we could have stopped them from having if we were a bit better on the ball at times. We’ve got to be harsh on ourselves, we want to win the competition. We look at the good things and the bad things.

On playing in midfield: I’m always happy when I play there. The manager knows that. It’s where I affect the game the most but I'm always happy to play and help the team.

On Haaland: It’s amazing. He draws so many defenders which makes space for us. He never wants to stop scoring and you can see that.

On the dressing room: We’ve got our confidence back. Everyone trusts each other. There’s nothing better than all of us having each other on the pitch.

The Brazilian is named Man of the Match by the organisers. He had a key role in both goals!

City now have seven points from our first three games in this year's Champions League league phase.

With five games left before the final placings are decided, we're now very handily placed to hopefully finish in the top eight.

It's our first away win in the competition in over a year, so that shows just how we can't take results like this for granted.

That's it! A vital three points in the Champions League thanks to first-half goals from Erling Haaland and Bernardo Silva.
