City are bottom of the group with Ajax, Real and Borussia Dortmund ahead of them.

"Everyone knows this is a good group, some of the others are a joke, but this is a hard one," said Real coach Mourinho.

"A big team will go to the Europa League and after this result there is a gap between us and the other teams.

"Us and Borussia are in the better position to make the next stage, but City can still get 10 points, so we have to make sure we get 11."
