Manchester City comfortably dispatched AEK in their home Champions League match, scoring five times against the Greek outfit.
Head coach Enzo Mareska singled out French midfielder Ryan Cherki for his impressive display, particularly highlighting a stunning goal he scored in the second half.
I think Ryan, like the others, had a strong game. He influenced key moments, especially with his goal. We know we can expect anything from Ryan at any moment.
When quizzed by reporters about the possibility of Cherki one day claiming the Ballon d'Or, the Italian manager was quick to emphasise the importance of teamwork.
I don’t know, the only thing I can say is that this is a team sport, not an individual one. Erling is a top player, just like Ryan and Elliott. We must think about the 20-25 players who are part of the squad.
Looking ahead, Manchester City will refocus on their Premier League commitments, with an away match against Aston Villa scheduled for Saturday.
