Champions League heartache will not excuse Pep Guardiola's men letting their Premier League and FA Cup form slide, says the defender
Aleksandar Kolarov urged Manchester City not to let their season peter out after Monaco denied them a place in the quarter-finals of the Champions League.
Tiemoue Bakayoko scored to make it 6-6 on aggregate at the Stade Louis II but the Ligue 1 leaders progressed on the away goals rule, having lost 5-3 at the Etihad Stadium last month.
Kolarov, deployed once again at centre-back by manager Pep Guardiola, battled gamely against a first-half onslaught as Kylian Mbappe and Fabinho fired Monaco into the ascendancy but he was caught out of position when Bakayoko powered home in the 77th minute – six minutes after Leroy Sane's close-range strike appeared to have City bounded for the next round.
