Didi said, "Obviously we are very disappointed, because we came here to win the game and it was disappointing to lose. But then again, we have won the group, which is what we wanted from the start.
"We were not aware of how the other game was going, it didn't make a difference at all but I was sensing near the end that they needed one or two more goals to go through. They had needed to win from the start, they played at a high tempo and we were caught out by a quick free kick, which really should not happen.
"We steadied the ship after their first few chances and tried to get on the attack ourselves, but we got caught out at the free kick and it went downhill from there.
"The hungrier and better side on the night won. We were not in a position during the game to think about the next one on Sunday, we just have to take each one as it comes but conceding that goal at the free kick did not help."
City will travel to the Hawthorns on Sunday with a question mark hanging over the fitness of Robinho, who was substituted at half time after more problems with his injured ankle. Hamann knows that with progress in Europe assured, City can now concentrate on improving their league position.
"We won the group, which is what we aimed to do and we scored near the end as well - I thought Felipe did ever so well when he came on. We know this competition is over for the next few weeks, we have reached our target in Europe and we have to make sure that we reach our Premier League targets as well over the next few games. Sunday's a big game and we have to start picking up points," he adds.
