Manchester City defender, Bacary Sagna said the club “forgot to play” against Monaco in the Champions league round-of-16 second led in France as they were dumped out.

City surrendered their 5-3 first-leg advantage as they lost 3-1 at Stade Louis II, exiting the competition on away goals.

City Manager Pep Guardiola’s attempts to combat Monaco’s dangerous attacking force by going with an all-out attacking approach himself backfired as City failed to gain any meaningful first-half possession.

By the interval they were 2-0 down after goals from Kylian Mbappe and Fabinho, and although Leroy Sane put City back in control, a powerful header by Tiemoue Bakayoko ending their hope of advancing.

Sagna, speaking ahead of their vital Premier League clash against top-four rivals Liverpool on Sunday said, “It is a massive disappointment.
