Manchester City boss Enzo Maresca speaking to Uefa:"Tough game in some moments. We controlled quite well but some moments we struggled.
"Champions League, Germany away. It's tough, so happy with the three points.
"They are well-organised, they were aggressive and dangerous with the wingers. We needed to be careful on transition. Happy with the three points, and now we recover and move on."
On being in the dugout next to RB Leipzig coach Martin Demichelis: "A very good friend. We are very close, he's doing a fantastic job in the league and, hopefully, they can do better in the Champions League too."
Manchester City striker Erling Haaland, speaking to TNT Sports about being ready when chances come: "Not sure how many touches I had today, not the most, but what is the most important is that I managed to help the team to win.
"I think we need to step up a bit. When we were 1-0 up, I think we needed to go at it, go for the second goal and then the third - that's what we have to do. We have to work on that."
On what improvements are needed: "Keeping the ball, when to keep it, when to go, working together offensively and defensively.
"You can always be better and there's always a new chance. A new game in three days, so that's lovely."
On being ready for chances: "You can look at it that it's difficult to keep concentrated for 100 minutes, or you can look at it like it's only 100 minutes.
"You have to stay focussed to get a chance - you can look at it in a few different ways and I look at it in the second option."
