Jose Mourinho claims that it is "incredible" that Manchester City are knocked out in the group stage of the Champions League for a second consecutive year.

Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho has claimed that it is "incredible" that Manchester City have been knocked out in the group stage of the Champions League for a second consecutive year.

City failed to reach the knockout stages of the competition on Wednesday night as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Mourinho's side at the Etihad Stadium.

"With the players City have, it's incredible they haven't qualified two years in a row," Mourinho told reporters.

"If I had been knocked out of the Champions League in the groups, I wouldn't have been able to go back to Madrid."

Wednesday's draw in Manchester was enough to see Real Madrid reach the last 16 of the tournament.
