Man City boss Manuel Pellegrini felt his side had the better chances during their 2-1 defeat to Juventus.
City are yet to establish themselves in club football’s elite competition and were knocked out at the last-16 stage at the hands of eventual winners Barcelona in the previous campaign. “We will see this afternoon how long it will be”.
“Maybe they haven’t started that well but they continue to have very good players”. “We are a little unhappy but we can take confidence to the next game”.
– Sergio Kun Aguero (@aguerosergiokun) September 14, 2015And tomorrow, let’s all start the Champion’s with high hopes. We could have finished it off earlier, though. ‘We did not have many problems – football is that way some days you score and some days you don’t do it’.
The Premier League leaders, who have won five games from five domestically without conceding, went ahead in the 57th minute when Giorgio Chiellini put through his own goal under pressure from Vincent Kompany.
“It seemed to be the decisive goal”, he said. I understand and accept that people are going to draw conclusions, because it was a defeat. “It really felt different today”.
“It’s obvious that we didn’t do well, but it’s not over, there are some games left”.
Kompany claimed it was hard for his compatriot to make an impact because Juventus defended so deeply. But it’s not just the result.
Bony said: “It was hard because they closed completely their goal and they were complete in defence and trying to play counter-attack”.

“I wouldn’t have liked to be an attacking player at that moment”. It is very important for the team to be successful not only domestically but in Europe, but we need to go step by step. They know where to stand, how to position.
