Man City were way below their best in the stuttering 1-1 draw with Shakhtar Dontesk ,but the point was good enough to see them qualify for last 16 knock-out stage of the Champions League as Group C winners.

A fact acknowledged by City boss Pep Guardiola who was simply content to have progressed from the group.

"We qualify and we played well in the second half. The second half was better than the first. We conceded only a few counter attacks.

"In the first half we were too hurried in our play and gave away possession but in the second half we were more measured and improved.

"I've played against Shakhtar Donetsk many times and they always have quality players. In general, we created chances but the draw was enough in the end. Now we have one competition already done, and now our focus will be the Premier League, until we arrive in the cups. The target was to qualify and we have done it."
