City players and fans deserved that celebration. They have a horrible situation that's not their fault and they achieved a big win. Some supporters have this "holier than thou" mentality but their backs aren't against the wall.

Ruben Dias on the news breaking during the international break that Manchester City had been found guilty of breaching financial rules:
"When it broke we felt like we should have a conversation as soon as we got back.
"We did so just for everyone to be on the same page and to be clear about our peace of mind and we moved on.
"Obviously, it happened in a moment when we were not together but we quickly reached out to each other and quickly we found calm and we progressed forward."

More from Manchester City boss Enzo Maresca on the club's 16 consecutive seasons in the Champions League and the competition's importance to the club:
"I am just more focused on tomorrow. For sure, the Champions League for this organisation is so important, no doubt.
"We are going to try to improve, compared to the last two, three years where the club, the team struggled a little bit.
"So, we are going to try to do our best to improve that. Again, where we can be in March, April or if this is the last Champions League for a while, I don't know."

Right, here are some of those quotes from Manchester City defender Ruben Dias, who broached all topics head on and spoke openly about how the players are dealing with the club's current situation.
Here he is on dealing with "noise'" from opposition supporters:
"Personally and I really feel like I speak for the whole group, we trust the club. We're very calm and were very focused on enjoying football. We know the team we've got, we want to make the most out of it, we want to win, and that's the only thing in our mind.
"If there's more or less noise or whatever the reason the noise is, at the end of the day it's all the same, same as before, because people don't love us winning and we love to win."
Man City v Paris St-Germain (Wed, 20:00 BST)
Manchester City boss Enzo Maresca on whether it has been a challenge knowing where to improve: "We used the international break to analyse all our seven games, the previous seven games [before international break]. From there we can see the things that we absolutely need to improve. But again, this is evolution from the Liverpool game.
"I was not happy with the first half in the way we were playing with the ball, off the ball we were quite good so every game [there] is a way or moment we can learn from to improve."
Man City v Paris St-Germain (Wed, 20:00 BST)

Manchester City boss Enzo Maresca on winning every game since the Community Shield and rating his side's start to the season: "We need to improve many things, for sure. The way we try to attack, the way we try to defend, no doubt we need to improve things.
"And then in terms of the journey since we started, as you said, we have won seven or eight games in a row - for me they have been all different for different situations.
"For instance, the last one at Anfield has been different to the rest for all the situation happening during the international break. Games where we were losing 0-1, Bournemouth then we won. Man Utd game with 10 players - all different games.
"But for sure, winning games in our job is the most important thing. But for me, it is more the day-by-day, the things I can see from the players, that I feel very happy."
Man City v Paris St-Germain (Wed, 20:00 BST)
Manchester City captain Ruben Dias says he and the other three "captains" at the club are ready for the challenge ahead.

Manchester City boss Enzo Maresca on Pep Guardiola's visit: "Again, I spoke with him after the United game so I don't know his plan. I don't know if he is coming straight to the stadium or if he is coming to the training ground, I don't know - I don't have any idea. It is exciting for everyone, for the fans, but I don't know Pep's plans at the moment."

Manchester City boss Enzo Maresca on the criticism of his players celebrating after winning at Anfield:
"Criticised for what? We won 0-3 at Anfield, what do you want us to do?
"And even if it was 0-1 it would be exactly the same. We, me here today, the players here today, want to win tomorrow's game. We work every day to win games.
"We can be focused. The rest is things from outside we need to deal with. We were so, so happy inside the pitch and you cannot imagine inside the changing room."

What a man Pep Guardiola is. He is behind Man City 100 per cent. That will give the players great confidence and belief. I hope we all can wait for the outcome of the appeal and be patient.

"Where we are in this moment compared to PSG? I don't know.

We've been quite poor in the first half of games recently. PSG could quite easily put us to the sword if we're not careful. Maybe I'll get excited if we're not behind by half time.

Manchester City boss Enzo Maresca on his message to the players: "The message for tomorrow night is quite easy, in terms of winning the perfect game because they're the best team in Europe in this moment.
"They won the last two Champions League so that shows how good they are, so we need the perfect game but at the same time doing our best, I think we can beat them and be happy at the end."
