Ruben Dias: “A very intense game against a very strong opponent.

We knew what was coming, they're a top team as well, they're used to winning, and we knew we're not going to have an easy job. In the end, I think the team had a great performance, we were very close to scoring.

But we take it, and obviously we move forward, but it was a very good test as well for us to play against such a strong side.”

Ruben Dias on Man City's chances vs. Inter: “[Ilkay] Gundo had two, the one with Phil [Foden] as well, and some others that came up, but especially these three definitely were clear ones. But it happens, it's football, and we're here for what happens next.”

Ruben Dias: “Well we knew they can be dangerous in many different scenarios, they have people that know very well how to keep the ball, and also in transitions they can be very dangerous.

We know them very well, especially since the UCL final we played against them. We knew the different ways in which they can hurt us, but in the end we are who we are, we played the game that we played, and we deal with it.”

Ruben Dias on Man City's clean sheet vs. Inter: “These are the ones we love, these make it mean more about keeping a clean sheet. So we're happy about the work we did at the back.”

Ruben Dias: “The season has just started. Like the manager said, when we came back from the international break, the pre-season had just finished.

It's very early ages, obviously we know what we are as a team, and today I think we were on a very good level.

We ended up not scoring, we could have, we had the chances, but that's football and obviously there's a lot of margin to progress from our side.”

Ruben Dias on Arsenal (H): “We'll take the rest we need. We know Arsenal very well, they know us very well, it's a very intense game. It's still early stages, but it's never too early to play a clash like this. We will be there, we will be ready.”

Pep Guardiola: “We played so good. I love my team! We are a fantastic team!

Against that team [Inter], we defended really well. They are the masters of defending.”

Pep Guardiola on what he liked most about Man City’s performance vs. Inter: “Everything. Absolutely everything!”

Pep Guardiola on Rodri's performance vs. Inter: “Really good. He played really good. Always he plays really good, Rodri.”

Pep Guardiola on Kevin De Bruyne’s injury: “I didn't speak with the doctors yet.”

Josko Gvardiol: “It's going to be a long season, we all know that. But I'm still young, I'm 22, so I need to give my best this season.

I can tell you that the line of four [vs. Inter], we looked really good today, and that's the most important thing that we work as one together. And we need to just keep going that way and I hope for many more clean sheets to come.”

Manuel Akanji on Man City’s fourth kit: “I like it a lot... In one action I got confused with the referee on the side, I thought it was Bernardo Silva so I passed the ball to him. But otherwise I like the kit a lot and look forward to playing more in it.”

Pep Guardiola on whether Kevin De Bruyne will be fit for Man City vs. Arsenal: “I don't know, I will have more info tomorrow [Thursday].”

Pep Guardiola: “We played much better today than the UCL final [in 2023].

Pep Guardiola on making two half-time substitutions in successive Man City matches: “It's a new version of Pep. We will do the same against Arsenal!”
