What did the Manchester City boss think about Wednesday night's win then?

Manuel Pellegrini said his decision to prioritise the Champions League over the FA Cup was vindicated by the win at Dynamo Kiev.

Pellegrini was criticised for playing a weakened side in Sunday's 5-1 fifth-round defeat at Chelsea, but they won Wednesday's last-16 first-leg tie 3-1.

"Having just 13 fit outfield players - it was a key decision to rest the team in the [FA Cup] game," said Pellegrini.

"It was important for the way we had to play this game with lots of intensity."
