Independent: Off-colour Blues do enough
Andy Hampson reports: “Manchester City played out a tame 1-1 draw with Shakhtar Donetsk to claim their place in the Champions League knockout stage for a seventh consecutive season.
“Ilkay Gundogan's second-half strike was cancelled out by Manor Solomon as City failed to spark at the Etihad Stadium but, with Dinamo Zagreb losing to Atalanta, the result was enough to secure top spot in Group C.

Qualifying top is a huge bonus at this stage. Means we should be able to rest what is left of our key players in our final group match and focus on the league!
