Lescott: It’s out of City hands now

MANCHESTER CITY defender Joleon Lescott admits the club’s first Champions League campaign is proving a tough learning curve.

City’s hopes of reaching the knockout stage are now out of their hands after a shattering 2-1 loss at Napoli. Roberto Mancini’s men have now fallen behind the Italians into third in Group A and need a huge turnaround in fortunes in the final round of fixtures to progress.

City must beat group winners Bayern Munich, to whom they have already lost, at the Etihad Stadium and hope eliminated Villarreal can collect their first point of the competition against Napoli.
