Manuel Pellegrini: 'Manchester City were better than Juventus'

Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini believes that his side, who lost 2-1 to Juventus in the Champions League on Tuesday night, played better than their opponents.

Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini has claimed that his side were better than Juventus despite falling to a 2-1 defeat against the Serie A side in the Champions League.

The Citizens took the lead when Giorgio Chiellini headed the ball into his own net under pressure from Vincent Kompany.

Mario Mandzukic, however, levelled for the Bianconeri when he guided Paul Pogba's cross past Joe Hart, before Alvaro Morata fired in a late winner to seal the points.

Pellegrini told reporters after the Group D game: "It's disappointing, I don't think we deserved to lose. We had better chances and played better than Juventus.

"It was a typical Champions League game, both teams didn't create many chances but we had more possession. It was not a tactical problem, Juventus just scored two beautiful goals."

Man City return to Premier League action on Saturday at home against West Ham United.
