Manchester City winger Raheem Sterling was disappointed not to score four goals in Tuesday's 5-0 rout of Atalanta in the Champions League.
The England international bagged himself a hat-trick as City continued their flawless European campaign.
Sterling told BT Sport: "It was difficult with them going man for man, it was tough to get space. But we had to stay patient, wait for a chance and take them when they came.
"I should have had four. Riyad Mahrez put me through and I was looking to put one on a plate for him. But I went through and should have finished it."
