'An incredible result'
FT: Leeds 0-4 Man City
Manchester City
Man City boss Pep Guardiola talking to Sky Sports: "We knew coming here the way they play, we suffered a lot in the first half. But in the end we had control and could have scored more. An incredible result for us.
"They are so fast up front. Today was so importanrt to make our chances to be champions again.
"We defended well and sometimes these type of games set-pieces become so important. With Nathan Ake on the pitch, we are so strong.
"What a game Laporte played, he is doing an incredible season. We have five games to go, potentially six until the end of the season.
"I prefer to feel less pressure than I am feeling. It is a long season and this is the last effort."
'Very important to win in this way'

City defender Aymeric Laporte to Sky Sports: "I’m very happy because the team won. It’s very important to win in this way. It’s very important for us for the future."
On his head injury: "I didn’t know. It was a big shock. I fell down and I didn’t know exactly what happened. Very quickly they asked me if I was good. They asked me questions if I remembered everything and if everything was OK so I could play."

City midfielder Ilkay Gundogan to Sky Sports: "It was a huge test. Leeds started with a lot of intensity. They made our lives difficult.
"The first goal helped us a lot. They were more than in the game in the first half. After the second one we could move the ball better and create chances."
On his early block: "The key is to not panic in these situations. I’m not the quickest but I was able to get back and make the block. Defensively we were able to block a lot of shots today. Not conceding today was important. The next game in Madrid will be crucial."
On Liverpool playing first: "It’s always as tough as you make it for yourself. We have to manage these situations. Sometimes they’ll play first. Sometimes we’ll play first. The responsibility is always there to win all the games. Every game is a final now."
