Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola told Sky Sports: "The most important thing was to win the game and we did it against an incredible opponent. They destroyed us in the Premier League in the first leg. The games are always good, we had chances, they had chances, it was open and the people enjoy."
On Kevin De Bruyne: "There's something that you cannot buy, if you're honest. He got all the love, especially the gratitude for the player he is and year after year what he's done."
Guardiola also threatened to quit if the club does not reduce the size of his squad this summer: "I said to the club I don't want that [a bigger squad]. I don't want to leave five or six players in the freezer. I don't want that. I will quit. Make a shorter squad, I will stay.
"It's impossible for my soul to [tell] my players in the tribune [stands] that they cannot play."
On needing a point for Champions League: "It's a pity that against Southampton we couldn't collect the points. Now it would be already done. On Sunday we have a tough opponent. We go there to win to take the point we need to be next season in the Champions League."
