Nasri: City one of world’s best

Samir Nasri believes Manchester City’s stunning victory in Rome proves they have one of the best teams in the world and has railed on critics who wrote off their season.

The Frenchman scored City’s first goal as they claimed an impressive 2-0 win at Roma on Wednesday that secured progress to the last 16 of the Champions League despite taking just two points from their first four games in the group.

City also started slowly in the Premier League but have now won their last six games in all competitions to cut Chelsea’s lead at the top of the table from nine points to three.
