Manchester City flew the flag for English football with Champions League

Manuel Pellegrini explained the reasons for remodelling Manchester City's midfield to devastating effect in the 3-1 win over Sevilla. 

We're not in a "desperate" situation this time, even if it makes it an "enjoyable ride" at times so these final group games will be a different situation for City, he finished by saying. 

Hart hailed City's display as "the right way to play" after goals from Raheem Sterling, Fernandinho and Wilfried Bony gave them the convincing win. 

Before last nights game, Sevilla had won eight of their twelve home games in the Chamapions League, with no away side keeping a cleans sheet. 

However, after securing qualification to the knockout round with a confident win over Sevilla on Tuesday, City and England goalkeeper Hart believes the club have finally downed their Champions League demons. 

"It is important to be qualified two games before, but we want to qualify first in the group". 

Sevilla look to put dent to Manchester City's chances of going through the next round of the 2015-16 Champions League season as the two teams prepare to lock horns at Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán Stadium. They've only had a couple of chances and we took ours. 

"Our fans made the effort the Champions League demands, but we didn't". It's great to be part of this squad and with the players we've got I'm learning every day. 

"We have two games more to qualify if we don't to it tomorrow and to win the group if we do". 

We still have a chance to get second place in the group. This was probably the best performance we've given in the Champions League so far. We defended well too and dominated possession. 

They have lost to Barcelona in the last 16 stage in the previous two campaigns as well as suffering painful defeats to Real Madrid, Juventus and Bayern Munich in the past. We have to play the way we played today. 

"I am very happy because I think we played a complete game". 

City now travel to struggling Aston Villa - under new management with this week's appointment of Remi Garde - on Sunday looking to maintain their lead at the top of the Barclays Premier League. "Tomorrow we are playing at the Sanchez Pizjuan and we have to continue with this consistency", added Emery.
