Boss delighted with win over Schalke


Mark Hughes has hailed City's superb win over Schalke 04 as a great platform for Sunday's derby, and hopefully the knock-out stages of the UEFA Cup.

Goals either side of the break from Benjani & Stephen Ireland, along with a great defensive display from the whole team, saw City to their second win the group stages, and speaking afterwards the Manager said:

"I thought we were really comfortable and knew when to break, so as a consequence Schalke were always on the back foot. It was a very accomplished performance."

City are now on six points in Group A, not yet mathematically qualified but very near to it, and Mark continued by saying:

"It's not absolutely certain, but I think there has only been one team that's not gone through on six points. We have a home game to come and we think we can get a result in that one.

"We're in great shape and would be very disappointed not to go through from this position.

"It's been a great week, starting off against Arsenal, we've had a great performance here and it leads nicely into a certain game at the weekend!"
