John Stones is now focused on getting Manchester City into the Champions League knockout stages.

City qualified for the group stages after completing a 6-0 aggregate win over Steaua Bucharest on Wednesday night.

Fabian Delph netted the only goal at the Etihad, ensuring took their place in Pot Two of the draw on Thursday evening.

It is a good feeling, a good win. It's a relief, I suppose.

We wanted to build on a good victory away from home. It was in our minds that we had a good lead but we wanted to build on that and we feel we definitely got what we wanted to achieve.

It is massive for everyone, the club, the fans. It is a great stage to go and prove ourselves.

We wanted to make sure we did it and we did it comfortably. We have got a lot of things to work on but we will get in every day and strive to get to the next round of this competition.
