Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini admitted Joe Hart had saved his side in the 1-1 Champions League draw with Borussia Dortmund - and said the Blues need to fight harder for success against Europe's best.
Marco Reus scored for the visitors after a slack pass from Jack Rodwell before substitute Mario Balotelli's late penalty levelled the score. Blues keeper Hart made a string of world class saves throughout the game.
"I think that Joe saved us. He did very, very well," Mancini said.
"Today we deserved to conceded three or four goals. We didn't play well.
"We didn't play well because Borussia Dortmund played better than us.
"They probably at this moment are a better team than us. If we want to play in the Champions League we have to play better than tonight.
"We have to run and fight. It's not enough to just pass. Champions League is another situation - different from the championship.
"We have to run and fight. It's not enough to just have quality."
Mancini admitted his frustration as City remained without a clean sheet this season, but the Italian revealed he had identified the reason for his side's poor defensive performance tonight as they were over-run by Dortmund's fleet-footed young stars.
"We did a lot of mistakes. It was very strange for us," he said.
"I know the problem and I will resolve very quickly this problem."
Asked what the problem was, he added: "It is my problem. It is my job. I understand the problem and I will resolve (it) very quickly."
City's penalty lifeline came after Dortmund defender Neven Subotic saw Sergio Aguero kick the ball on to his hand at close quarters, a decision Mancini agreed could have gone either way.
"He touched the ball with his hand. He was unlucky," he said.
"It could be maybe not, but I'm happy with the penalty.
"I think in the end this point could be important."

The problem is YOU Mancini, YOU. You failed in Europe at Inter and you've failed here, our football resembles 10/11 rather than 11/12. You're taking our team back.
You 'knew the problem' yet still haven't resolved it. The championship is supposedly different? The same problems exist there, even Stevie Wonder can see that.
Had enough, GO!
