Manchester city held out a negligent start, in order to guarantee for themselves the 1st space in the group of Champions League F, coming behind in order to win the Hoffenheim 2-1 thanks to the double Leroy Sana on Wednesday.

Andrei Kramarich's penalty put the Germans deservedly ahead for 16 minutes, for example, as another firmly changed side of the metropolis struggled to gain speed.

Not least, PEP Guardiola's men found their own feet as the 1st middle wore on and was at the level as the one before interval razlyubezny brilliant reasonable penalty.

Guardiola was disappointed with the extravagance of his own side in front of the gate in the second period, but judicious, at least, ensured the victory by converting the pass of Rahim Sterling to the hour mark.

"We started flat, due to the fact that this team is so demanding in terms of such as they storm the place, their physicality, they are stronger than us," said Guardiola.

"Subsequently, we made an unimaginable number of factors, but the result is good.

"We are in the 16 best, at the moment we will look at the draw and even more to try to drive up at the right time."

The metropolis has made life difficult for themselves in a group with a flat concert in the loss of a home in Lyon in their massive opening this Irge and for example a cold, already providing space for themselves in the last 16.

Kramaric made a polite shot in centimeters, before that than Ederson made an unimaginable finger stop in order to turn another tension from the Croatian behind.

However the happiness of Kramaric in the 3rd penalty round subsequently such as Emeric Laporte was punished for weighing down Benjamin Hubner.

All the best efforts of the metropolis before the interval came from a set of parts, as Gabriel Jesus and Nicolas Otamendi cut on a tree.

But the owners were, in the end, a degree in an exciting style, when considered vacant curled a shot into the top corner from 30 yards.

Hoffenheim was obliged to win only for this, in order to have a chance to qualify for the 3rd knockout period of the Europa League, but in his own despair, in order to pursue the favorite, left himself hopelessly exposed to the pace of sanity and Sterling later break.

"I do not think that 3 points completely sum up the result of our position. We would go further, in case I would have had glasses that had to be done," said the Hoffenheim boss Julian Nagelmann leaving to join RB Leipzig in the proper season.

"As new to this competition, we have learned a lot, played well in the tournament and a number of one returned to the games. We are almost all created for this club and trust, in fact in the future this will become more."

In his right mind was guilty of exaggeration, because the metropolis unimaginably ottorg 3 opposite the 1st, when sterling fed the German, who tried to play the stunned Bernardo Silva, and not to approach the gate itself, and Baumann rescued the Portuguese shot.

"We're young. I have this feeling. People ahead of 21, 22 years, we need to be more measured in these positions," added Guardiola.

Not least, the city Manager reserved a special compliment for 18-year-old Phil Foden at his first start of the Champions League season just days after signing a fresh five-year contract.

"He's great. His mindset, he has the ability to score goals, he is a fighter, his control in narrow positions, he is an expert.

"We had almost no hesitation, in fact, that he is ready to perform with us at the highest level."

Sterling was in the news for a courageous concert about the alleged racist abuse he suffered in Chelsea defeat on Saturday and the news coverage he received last night.

However the player of national team of great Britain has worked, in fact it will keep his good form for the background as it is sane, prepared to round Baumann and connector home the winner.

Next, the winners of the competition will meet with one of Atletico Madrid, Schalke, Ajax or Roma in the draw on the first day of the week.
