Manuel Pellegrini: "Of course was a good day because we won our game but (it was) not only we won, (but) we returned to being a scoring team here at the Etihad and we repeated our last performance against Stoke.

"We were a solid team and an aggressive team from the beginning.

"For Edin (Dzeko) it is very important.

"Maybe one of the things that happened in January was that Edin was just coming back from a long injury and Sergio Aguero was also. Both of them, the way they had minutes, will help them return to their normal performance.

"Edin not only scored but worked very well the whole game.

"The experience is always important but I think all the teams will drop points from now until the end of the season so we will see which team will drop least points.

"All the games are different but we are going to try from the beginning against Barcelona, as we did today, to be an aggressive team and to try and score goals because it is important.

"Maybe it is not a normal game because it is a game of 180 minutes, so you must try to score but you must also try not concede because an away goal is very important.

"But on Tuesday I am sure you will see our team trying to play in the same way we did today."
