    The relief at the Etihad was palpable at the final whistle - on the pitch where City players were hugging each other, and in the stands, where their fans are still doing the same.

    You could feel how nervous the Man City fans were. There was no singing. There were no flags being waved.

    But it was a masterclass in dealing with pressure by Pep Guardiola. It wasn't dominant, it was just managed by City.
