Guardiola: City 'not ready' to win Champions League despite Schalke comeback

Pep Guardiola warned Manchester City cannot expect to win the Champions League if they gift their opponents goals as they did in their dramatic 3-2 win over Schalke.

City claimed a first-leg advantage in their round-of-16 tie in Germany, though only after substitute Leroy Sane's 85th-minute equaliser was followed by Raheem Sterling's 90th-minute winner.

Schalke had fallen behind to Sergio Aguero's opener, yet entered the interval 2-1 ahead thanks to a pair of Nabil Bentaleb penalties, awarded for a handball against Nicolas Otamendi and a foul by Fernandinho.
