Dias: Man City players happy with victory over Sevilla - and for Lewis

Manchester City defender Ruben Dias says they're pleased with their Champions League win against Sevilla.

City were comfortable 3-1 winners on the night.

Dias said, "Definitely [what they wanted]. We wanted one more thing - not to concede. Unfortunately we conceded one.

"It was one of those games, everything is settled in the group, it's a game in which you need to perform because the rhythm is going with non-stop games.

"To drop down [in terms of performance] is not a good idea. The second half was a very good answer from the team."

On Rico Lewis' goal on debut, he said: "He's an enormous talent. He's been with us a long time. To get the opportunity of playing practically the full game and scoring, you can see his quality. He just needs to keep working."

On Kevin de Bruyne, Dias added: "It's one of those Kevin things. It's good to be able to count on him.

"At this club it doesn't matter if it's a friendly, the Champions League final, or a game in the groups with eveything done, we need to push each other. Same as training."
