Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola was delighted after their Champions League win at FC Copenhagen.
City took control of the round 16 tie by winning the first-leg 3-1 thanks to goals from Bernardo Silva, Kevin De Bruyne and Phil Foden.
Guardiola said: "Really, really good, so proud. It was important. Today was perfect. They were patient in the right moments. Really good. I'm really proud of the team. The third goal helped us a lot. Hopefully we can finish it off at home and go to the next game.
"It was important to not lose the tie here. The game was really well played from the first minute. We conceded a goal but sometimes that happens. In the second half they played with five in the back but in general we did well. We didn't concede transitions or make the crowd support the team... We had the perfect tempo so really pleased."
On De Bruyne's impact since returning, he added: "Yeah, extraordinary. The first goal was amazing, the right pass and tempo from Phil Foden. The biggest players appear on the biggest stages. It's the hour of truth. We started well. We have to do our job and finish it.
"I'm just really pleased for the result."
