More from FC Basel coach Raphael Wicky, who has been explaining how his side grew in belief as the game went on.
Wicky said: "The game did not start as we imagined and it was a difficult situation when we went behind after eight minutes. Playing a team like City, it can turn out really difficult.
“So I am very proud of the team, they produced a really good performance.
"We tried to play football and we did that and we found that there was space we could create and with two or three passes we could get into the final third. I think in time the team realised that perhaps we could get something out of the game."
On being the first team to beat City at Etihad Stadium this season: “It is special for us that we are able to beat this team and go out of the Champions League with a decent performance in a very difficult task."
