Oleksandr Zinchenko has claimed that the loss against Basel in the Champions League was not reflective of the team's performance and that they just need to cut out some of the simple mistakes in their game.

City were beaten 2-1 by the Swiss side on the night but progressed through after a convincing 4-0 win in the first leg. Pep Guardiola rotated his side for the second leg but the loss still came as a surprise.  

"We need to make some analysis of that because we are still learning, we are not machines. We can play like that sometimes," Zinchenko said ahead of Monday's game against Stoke.

"The most important thing was we got through, but that was the only positive from the night.

"But now we have to look forward because we have a lot of games this season, especially in the Premier League and we can win two (more) titles. Now we focus on Stoke."
