Man City boss Pep Guardiola, speaking to BBC Sport after the win over Newcastle: "In Leverkusen, it was a strong squad too, but we won today, so it was fine. It was a good decision and when I lose it was a bad decision. "This is the best performance we have played in this stadium since my decade here. On John Stones: "I am happy for him because for a long time he was injured, and he needs time to do his best. He was the captain today and he deserves it."
