Open Extended ReactionsMONACO -- The debate about whether Manchester City "are back" is going to be a theme of their season. Pep Guardiola and Bernardo Silva were both asked at their respective pre-match news conferences on Tuesday evening about the level of this City team. "We played a really good game," said Guardiola. For a long time under Guardiola, City were exceptional, too. The rest, with the chances and the actions that we had and with the last action, was really good."
