Manchester City defender John Stones says they're delighted to be in the Champions League group draw today.

City reached the semi-finals last season and ensured they will be back in the competition for a sixth successive year after seeing off Steaua Bucharest in the play-off round.

Stones said: "It is a good feeling, a good win. It's a relief, I suppose.

"We wanted to build on a good victory away from home. It was in our minds that we had a good lead but we wanted to build on that and we feel we definitely got what we wanted to achieve.

"It is massive for everyone, the club, the fans. It is a great stage to go and prove ourselves.

"We wanted to make sure we did it and we did it comfortably. We have got a lot of things to work on but we will get in every day and strive to get to the next round of this competition."
