City’s longest serving player, who made his first appearance at this ground in 2006, had enough poise to save well from Nicolae Stanciu and Alexandru Tudorie before waving and blowing kisses to the crowd amid poignant moments at full-time.

In a lacklustre game lacking in chances, Delph’s goal proved the difference on a night where the City supporters bid farewell to Joe Hart, who is likely to leave the club before the end of the transfer window.

We take a look at the standout performers in what was quite a disappointing night in East Manchester as City progressed into the group stages for the sixth consecutive year. This is a special place for me, I don’t think there has been any secret made of that. It is a place I love to be but situations occur in football but we are men, we get on with it.

Hart has spent more than a decade at City after joining the club from hometown side Shrewsbury in 2006.

Five of the English game’s established powers – Chelsea, Arsenal, Manchester United, Manchester City and Liverpool – denied they were involved in discussions for such a tournament earlier this year. I make a lot of mistakes – my decisions as a coach are sometimes good, sometimes bad, but I take decisions.

Asked where his future lies he shrugged his shoulders and said: “You probably know better than me!” I was honest with Joe, the club and myself and that’s what I try to do.

“I have to take a decision and I can not deny what I feel”.

– Man City have kept four consecutive clean sheets at home in the Champions League (including qualifiers) for the first time; successively shutting out the opposition for 228 minutes. I’m really happy that Fabian scored and he’s won us a game in the Champions League. “You have to accept and follow me, the way I want to play”.
