Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola admits luck was with them for their 2-1 Champions League win at Hoffenheim.

David Silva scored a dramatic late winner in Germany.

Guardiola said: "We had a little pressure because of our [opening] result in this competition, when you lose home games it is always tough and hard.

"After one minute we conceded a goal, it is not easy. The players deserve credit because we fought against absolutely everything for the result, the pressure and many other things.

"Maybe for the future it is going really well for us to live these kinds of situations because you cannot go through quarter-finals and semi-finals without living what today was.

"Manchester City is a fantastic club but does not have the history to live these situations. What happened today on the pitch gave me a lot of good signals for our future because we fought against absolutely everything."
