Manchester City boss Enzo Maresca speaking to Uefa: "Tough game in some moments. We controlled quite well but some moments we struggled. Champions League, Germany away, it's tough so happy with the three points.
"They are well organised, they were aggressive and dangerous with the wingers. We needed to be careful on transition. Happy with the three points and now we recover and move on."
On being in dugout next to RB Leipzig coach Martin Demichelis: "A very good friend. We are very close, he's doing a fantastic job in the league and hopefully they can do better in the Champions League too."
We just play the wrong midfield every game and act surprised when the hot knife (our opponent) meets the butter (our defence). Donnarumma can barely make saves as it is, never mind if we let teams fire at will at him.

On Gianluigi Donnarumma's performances:
There were moments again like that goal against PSG when Manchester City were about to get momentum in the game and he threw one in. Tonight I thought he should do better at the near post [for the first RB Leipzig goal]. There was a shot in the first half that nearly goes in. There was a free-kick that goes over the bar where he misjudges the flight.
Remember all the good things he's done since he came to Man City and his career so far and all his experience. He's having a difficult period in terms of moments in games. I don't think it's just him. I think the team in general is not free-flowing and clicking.

I think it's a bit telling though that Gianluigi Donnarumma is celebrating [the save] like that. It probably highlights the lack of confidence he has, and the understanding of the errors.
As unfortunate as Leipzig were there [Baku goal], Donnarumma was at fault for this. I don't think Baku means that.
With the greatest respect to [Donnarumma] he's probably made the most errors out of the back five.
A quick prediction here after four matches, the final will a repeat of last season's final but this time around, Arsenal will beat PSG with a defensive masterclass. They are the two best teams in Europe at the moment and no one comes close.
Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya, speaking to TNT Sports: "First half we played really, really well. We created a lot of chances and could have scored more but the second half was completely different. They stepped up a gear and made it difficult for us and we have to learn from it. Delighted with the win but a lot of things to improve going forward.
"Maybe they started pressing a bit higher with more intensity. We had too many giveaways especially in the final third. There was too much running from box to box and we have to manage those reactions and go for the third and fourth goal.
"At the end of the day it is three points."
Their 9-1 victory at Lens equals the biggest win in Champions League history - level with Real Madrid 8-0 Malmo and Liverpool 8-0 Besiktas. Both of those were home wins.
Manchester City striker Erling Haaland speaking to TNT Sports about being ready when chances come: "Not sure how many touches I had today, not the most but what is the most important is that I managed to help the team to win. I think we need to step up a bit, when we were 1-0 up I think we needed to go at it, go for the second goal and then the third - that's what we have to do. We have to work on that."
What improvements? "Keeping the ball, when to keep it when to go, working together offensively and defensively. You can always be better and there's always a new chance. A new game in three days so that's lovely."
On being ready for chances: "You can look at it that it's difficult to keep concentrated for 100 minutes or you can look at it like it's only 100 minutes you have to stay focussed to get a chance - you can look at it in a few different ways and I look at it in the second option."
Erling Haaland has scored five goals in three Champions League matches this season.
Only Como's Anastasios Douvikas has scored more - six, including today's hat-trick.
Club Brugge's Nicolo Tresoldi has als scored five like Haaland.
Manchester City striker Erling Haaland: "I think it is the most (13) I have scored against a club. I have played so many times against them in the Champions League with City and Borussia Dortmund too. Leipzig is a good team so I am happy."
On Elliot Anderson: "He has been amazing, he has had an amazing start to his City career and that is what you expect. You have to come straight in and perform. It is not easy to come in, you need to adapt and new players and a new coach, so he he has been impressive. Respect."

They are just conceding too many easy goals.
I don't think they were really under massive pressure, and in a lot of the games teams get a chance then they score.
Teams are incredibly efficient against them which will probably frustrate Maresca, but the good thing is they have won the game. They probably should have scored more at the end, they had a couple of moments when they could have squared it.
With their 9-1 win at Lens, Como became the first team to score nine goals in an away European Cup match since Feyenoord won 9-0 at Olympiakos Nicosia in September 1971.
Joleon Lescott Former Man City defender on TNT Sports
A coach said to me when I was younger that it's sometimes better to be lucky than good, and that was the case [today]. I think they were fortunate enough to come away with the victory.
I think Leipzig had more shots on goal than Man City. It wasn't as controlled in any elements of the game when they were out of possession. They didn't create multiple opportunities or sustained pressure in Leipzig's final third.
Nico Paz, scorer of Como's third goal, paid tribute to Tenerife striker Jesus de Miguel who died after he suffered a serious injury during a Spanish second-division match on Monday.
Slavia Prague have equalled an unwanted record tonight - with a 23-game winless run in the Champions League (and European Cup).
AEK Athens (1989-2006) and FCSB (2006-2013) share that record with the Czechs.
Arsenal are undefeated in their last 19 games in the Champions League, their longest unbeaten streak in the competition.
If you're wondering how that's possible, penalty shootout defeats don't count as losses in these stats...
Lucy Ward Former Leeds striker on TNT
It was really enjoyable, particularly the second half where both teams were going for it. Leipzig got themselves back into the game by like I said before it was enevitable that Erling Haaland would get on the score sheet.
City just looked a little bit better when they had wingers playing on both sides, but certainty their strengthen in depth was better than Leipzig's.
Como can't quite reach double figures but they grab a ninth against Lens as Matteo Papaccioli chips in before the final whistle.
Manchester United fans will be glad to see they aren't the only ones to have suffered a heavy defeat at the hands of the Italian outfit.
Porto end their losing streak and win their first points in the Champions League this season with a 4-1 victory after Samu Aghehowa scores from the penalty spot.
Aghehowa raced through on goal and only had the goalkeeper to beat, but he was pulled back by Napoli defender Rafa Marin, who gets a red card for his efforts.

Haaland scores as Man City edge Leipzig in five-goal thriller
Erling Haaland scored the winner to continue his formidable goalscoring record against RB Leipzig as Manchester City returned to winning ways by collecting three points in the Champions League.
Enzo Maresca's side have fallen to back-to-back defeats in the Premier League and edged past Brighton on penalties in the Carabao Cup, but emerged victorious in Germany in a thrilling game that ebbed and flowed.
City were struggling to break down the obdurate Leipzig backline and it was the home side who had the better chances in the opening exchanges.
Antonio Nusa's effort from outside the area almost squirmed in through the grasp of Gianluigi Donnarumma but landed on top of the net, while Christoph Baumgartner curled narrowly wide of the far post.
Having had plenty of possession without threatening, City were given a gift by home defender Castello Lukeba, who conspired to get his feet in a muddle and ended up sliding Nico O'Reilly's harmless cross into his own net.
But the visitors returned the favour at the start of the second half - Donnarumma's recent form has been questionable and the Italian left his near post far too exposed, allowing Ridle Baku to squeeze in the equaliser.
City restored their lead on 57 minutes through Enzo Fernandez's bullet header, but the lead was short-lived as Nusa drilled home a brilliant low finish on the hour mark to draw Leipzig level again.
Maresca's men pushed on and got their reward through captain Haaland, who slid home the winner on 78 minutes from Elliot Anderson's low cross for his 13th goal in nine games against Leipzig.
Gianluigi Donnarumma: The mistakes are starting to stack up for the Italian. Saved Antonio Nusa's drive from range unconvincingly and had a shocker for Ridle Baku's equaliser. 4
Matheus Nunes: Made an important block in front of goal to deny David Raum's thumping drive and won more possession than any other City player. 7
Abdukodir Khusanov: The Uzbek made more clearances than any other player on the pitch but was booked late on for a rash challenge. 6
Marc Guehi: Restored to the starting XI after being dropped on Saturday, the England international showed an improvement after recent shaky performances. 6
Nico O'Reilly: An attacking threat. Provided the cross for the opening goal and should have scored when he sent a free header wide. 7
Elliot Anderson: Another all-action performance from Anderson. Made more tackles than any team-mate, no player won more duels and laid on Erling Haaland's winning goal. 8
Enzo Fernandez: The £125m man had gone seven games without contributing a goal or assist but came up trumps with a thumping header. 7
Iliman Ndiaye: Making his first Champions League start, the Senegal international was deployed from the left and sent in an inch-perfect cross for Fernandez's goal. 7
Phil Foden: Lost possession much too often and had little influence in the final third, but he did nearly score the opener with an effort that drifted inches wide. 5
Rayan Cherki: Dragged a shot wide from inside the box early on but improved later in the game by clipping a shot against the crossbar. 6
Erling Haaland: Skipper for the night, Haaland was feeding off scraps but came alive late on to score the winner. 7
Jeremy Doku (on 64, Foden) Could have sealed it late in injury time but blazed over from close range. 6
Ayyoub Bouaddi (on 83, Fernandez) 6
