Pep Guardiola hailed Manchester City's achievement in doing the double over Napoli to seal a last-16 Champions League place, having been "massacred" early on in Italy.

City needed just a point at Stadio San Paolo to secure their progression from the group stage on Wednesday, but Guardiola's men came from behind to win 4-2 as Sergio Aguero became the club's all-time record goalscorer.

While Napoli – who also loss the reverse fixture 3-2 in Manchester – are now in danger of crashing out of the competition, manager Guardiola again spoke of his admiration for the Serie A leaders and lauded another big win.
