The Spanish gaffer's joke was quoted by Goal:

"We have a lot of money to buy a lot of incredible players.
"It is true. Without good quality players, we cannot do it. The humanity of this group... the players are fantastic and have an incredible relationship. They play every game to think just win that game.
"Today, enjoy the night and then think about West Ham. When people talk about the second leg, the second leg is in three weeks so now the next target is West Ham. That is all I am concerned with."

City are currently leading the pack in the Premier League with ten points as they face West Ham before taking on Wolves.
