That was such a great day that we should do it all over again! We'll be back on Wednesday for another stellar clash against Champions League holders Paris Saint-Germain. There's still tickets available for the game at the Etihad Stadium. Enjoy the next few days and we'll be back then. CTID!!! 🩵
On the performance: We showed real togetherness, fight. It’s a tough place to come, it’s challenging, and we really stuck together, fought for each other and played well as well. We showed courage here and three points is good.
On the atmosphere: It was definitely more than normal, arriving in and the first 10 minutes of the game. But we did really well to quieten the crowd. We struggled a little in the first half but second half we were a lot better then all the goals came.
On playing with courage: I think I just enjoy it. I enjoy the crowd and the noise. I feel like I thrive under it and that's when I really come alive. It gives me confidence.
On the win: It’s part of Man City and every single fan. It’s a lovely moment that will stick with us for a long time when it comes to the feeling of after the game and in the game. It was tough and hard. We showed amazing character from Gigi at the back, all the way to the front. I’m so proud of everyone.
On the boos being difficult: No, not really, it’s always tough to come here. It’s about these times to stay strong mentally and stick together. And do what you can do something about. What we can do is play good football and fight together. That’s the only thing we can do.
On Anderson: I spoke about character at Old Trafford and the first guy I think of is Elliot. Today again he controlled the game for us and he goes into the tackles. He does the things we need to do. He’s a good player!
Enzo Maresca has now levelled the best start to a managerial reign in Premier League history. Carlo Ancelotti also claimed victory in the first six games of the 2009/10 season having been freshly appointed at Chelsea, as did Ole Gunnar Solskjaer after taking charge at Manchester United in December 2018.
