Toure: Manchester City needs more goals to see off Monaco

Manchester - Manchester City's Yaya Toure believes his side must score at least two more goals against Monaco if the team is to reach the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

City twice came from behind to defeat the Ligue 1 leader in a stunning 5-3 win in the first leg of a last 16 clash at the Etihad Stadium on Tuesday, with Sergio Aguero scoring twice for the Premier League club.

But given how the team's defence was tested at home, midfielder Toure said merely trying to defend the lead was not a viable tactic for the second leg in Monaco in three weeks' time.

"The game is not finished, we have one game to play away in Monaco. We don't have to underestimate them and must try to score goals again. We are a team that can get the goals but we can concede goals," Toure said.

The 33-year-old Ivory Coast international, out of contract at the end of the season, added: "Monaco are such a good team, as you could see. People underrated them but it was not easy.

"They are young, they have pace, they have desire and we needed to show more. I think we showed more. After going two down we continued to believe.

"After the game my wife called me and said we were looking young today, the team was brilliant.

"The goalkeeper Caballero made the important save to be honest," said Toure. "He put us back in the game again."

He added: "The game was unbelievable. That is why I want to stay in Europe. We saw a real team. We were fighting, running everywhere.

"But we need to continue. We are delighted with the win but maybe we can score more, because in the Champions League it always costs when you concede goals."
