Manchester City defender Pablo Zabaleta has urged his teammates to recover quickly from Wednesday's Champions League exit.

The Blues went out of the competition in the group stage for the second consecutive season as they failed to get the win that they needed in a 1-1 draw with Real Madrid.

"Obviously we're disappointed with the result," said Zabaleta. "We need to get our heads up and think about the Chelsea game on Sunday."

City travel to Stamford Bridge in the Premier League this weekend.
