I think we deserved to finish in the Champions League places.

The Bayern Munich coach agreed to take charge of City this summer back in January when Manuel Pellegrini’s men were still in the hunt for three trophies.
Meanwhile, Manuel Pellegrini will be desperate to end the season on a high and mark his departure from the Premier League on good terms by making sure that Manchester City are able to provide new manager Pep Gaurdiola with Champions League football next season. Maybe we didn’t play well in that game [second leg against Real Madrid] but the only goal we conceded was an own goal.
“And if you look at the goal difference over the three seasons, it is huge between us and all the other teams”.
Pellegrini also predicted that in the next stage of City’s development the club would finally start to field young players, something that he has been criticised for not doing throughout his three-year tenure in charge.
“The fact is, with the players we have, we should never be in a situation where we are relying on other teams to make sure we finish in the top four”, Fernando said. “We needed at least a point and we got it”.
With the title and relegation races over, this is the most important game of the last Premier League fixture list of the season, and is one you should definitely not miss. Fourth-placed City could yet finish third with a victory should Arsenal lose to Villa, however unlikely that may be, but more importantly, a point would be enough to fend off the challenge from Manchester United and deny their city rivals a return to Champions League football.
The Barclays Premier League clash between Manchester United – the only side who could deprive City of fourth spot and the final Champions League place – and Bournemouth was called off following a security alert at Old Trafford.
“I know I’m not a famous manager so it’s been important for me to have this possibility to work in the Premier League and I’m very proud”. “Firstly, because we won a title and, second, because for the first time in the history of the club we reached the semi-finals of the Champions League”.
