Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola on Tuesday told his players to forget about the top eight permutations ahead of their final Champions League group match and concentrate on what matters most, beating Turkish side Galatasaray.
After their shock 3-1 defeat at Norways Bodo/Glimt last week, City are in 11th place in the Champions League standings and sit outside the top eight on goal difference.
The leading eight teams in the table automatically advance to the last 16, while the sides positioned ninth to 24th enter a playoff round to determine the other qualifiers.
