Juventus make it to last 16

The Blues are determined to make an impact on the continent this year and an excellent win in Seville saw them qualify from a hard group with two games to spare. “We have to forget about this game and to focus on the Premier League now”.

“We tried to dominate the game and I am not unhappy the way we played because this is not an easy team or stadium to come to, but it is not the result we wanted”.

Hart was kept busy for the remainder of the half, before being replaced by Willy Caballero with 10 minutes remaining after suffering a suspected injury.

Manchester City are reported to have tabled a €40million bid for Juventus left-back Alex Sandro, according to Gazzetta dello Sport.

The Giallorossi just need a win against BATE Borisov at the Olimpico in two weeks’ time to be sure of moving ahead to the knock-out stage. “I hope our team will continue and have a little bit more luck in the round of 16”. Mandzukic was too much for the visiting defence to handle and scored the winning goal. “We will see on Thursday the medical report about the other players and then we will see the team that must start on Saturday against Southampton”.

“So I repeat that we are focusing on the next game that we play at home”.

To finish top City will need to beat Borussia Monchengladbach in their final match at the Etihad Stadium in a fortnight while hoping Sevilla can overcome the Italians.

Substitute Raheem Sterling had one of the best of them as he shot wide late on while Fernando had a header turned onto the post and Fernandinho blasted over when well placed.

“David Silva is working with the physio in Manchester and we will know more tomorrow [Thursday], but Vincent Kompany has no chance to play this week”.

City were guilty of having spurned a number of good chances in Wednesday’s game and Toure also says the visitors could have clinched at least a point had they been more ruthless in front of goal.

“After that, of course if you don’t have Champions League maybe it can be easy, maybe they must play the Europa League. But we can certainly cope, if we couldn’t I would be doing something wrong because we’re only talking about one player in the squad”.
