After their European progress, Man City chief executive Ferran Soriano took a swipe at their critics, referencing Chelsea, over their accused lavish transfer spend which has now turned them into one of, if not the best side in the world currently.

“You only have to look at the investment in players in England in the last year, three years, five years… we are never the club spending the most on players,” he told Movistar. “There are many other clubs investing more money than us – Chelsea, Manchester United, Arsenal.
