City’s poor campaign came to an end last night when a win over a well below strength Bayern Munich side lifted them to 10 points.
City missed out to a superior Napoli side, who won in Spain against Villareal, and Mancini is assuming that his team will be back in the competition next year.
“We will be back and we hope for better next year. We are a good team and we are sorry for our supporters and my players who deserve to play in the Champions League. But we need to improve. We got the hardest group, we knew that before the start.”
