Pep Guardiola:
"“I am happy for the victory, we had to focus after the international break, to start well. We didn’t lose easy balls, we play fast and simple. That’s why I am very pleased. We can always do better but I cannot deny that today was the best performance since I arrived here.
"I am here to win, I am not here to entertain.
"This is the way we want to play, our confidence is high. Everybody believes we are going to win. We create many chances.
"We know each other more, I know my players more, the league more and the other teams more.
"De Bruyne is a guy that is so dynamic and can control the game. He is a big talent and made a good performance today."

"At 3-2, we got into a position where we might have got something out of the game, but if we are being honest it probably flattered us at 3-2.
"Players like De Bruyne see this situation and then just grab the initiative and say `this isn't acceptable' and take the game away from you with the quality of their play.
"First half I thought we were poor defending. Slightly better second half, but some of the goals we couldn't do anything about because of the quality of the passing and the quality of the strikes."

Sorry I'm late to this forum today, but I've just been taking it all in on other social media platforms.
I haven't looked at any of our other threads (MDT), but today was just MAGNIFICENT, especially the first 45. I think it's the finest I've ever seen, and I do go back a bit :010:
It was a pleasure, and I get to see it all again in another 15 minutes. When it got to three, I said to Mike, who provided the opportunity, it was nailed on for Sky's game of the day - I'm afraid the marking for today's comp might be a little late!
