Pep Guardiola insists Manchester City will recover from their agonising defeat to Lyon to attempt to reach the Champions League semi-finals next season.
City were firm favourites to progress against Lyon in the one-legged affair, but were below-par on the night when everything went against them.
Lyon deservedly led at half time, before Kevin De Bruyne's strike eventually pulled them level. But a controversial VAR call, followed by an unbelievable Raheem Sterling miss and an Ederson error saw Lyon stun the Blues and progress to the semi-finals.
It's the third year in succession where City have bowed out at the last eight, losing to Liverpool and Tottenham and now Lyon.
But Guardiola says his side are good enough to reach the semi-finals of the Champions League, when asked if the Lyon defeat was City following the same script as their previous exits.
He said: "Now, yes, but after the break and when we start the competition again we will recover, we will restart it again. And, you know, to try to do it again.
"Of course, I'm not able with these guys to break this line to the quarter-finals. So three years in a row and we are out.
"I think what these guys has done we deserve to do it again, or to go through and reach the semi-finals, but we are not able. But life is, is how you stand up again and next season we're going to try again."
