Manchester - Pep Guardiola pledged that Manchester City will continue to fight fire with fire when taking a 5-3 lead to Monaco in the Champions League last-16 tie.
City procured a two-goal advantage after a remarkable first-leg match at the Etihad Stadium on Tuesday in which the Citizens fought back from 2-1 and 3-2 down to put themselves in the driving seat.
Monaco's goals exposed serious failings in the City rearguard, but although Guardiola acknowledged his side must tighten up at the back, he said he'll go to Stade Louis II intending to attack.
"They will attack more and more and we have to defend better. But we will have our chances," said the City manager.
"We are going to fly to Monaco to score as many goals as possible. We are not going to defend that result.
"We now know each other better. We will adjust some things, they will adjust some things, but we have to score goals.
"If we don't score a goal in Monaco, we will be eliminated."
"The truth is we get on very well," said the Argentine striker.
Monaco coach Leonardo Jardim said his team had paid for "defensive errors", but said the "key moment" had been Falcao's failure to convert his penalty early in the second half.
Monaco was 2-1 up when Nicolas Otamendi was penalised for going through the back of Falcao, but the Colombian dallied over his spot-kick and then saw a tame shot parried by Willy Caballero.
French striker Kylian Mbappe, 18, vindicated Jardim's decision to hand him a first tournament start by calmly netting Monaco's second goal.
Jardim hailed the teenager's display, but said Monaco's defensive shortcomings showed the club's commitment to developing young players was a double-edged sword.
"I used Kylian up front today because we know City well. We know there's lots of space in behind," Jardim told his post-match press conference.
"I thought he played a great match. The little guy is 18 years old. And that's part of our project as well.
"The defensive errors are also a question of age, maturity. Kylian is 18. Lots of the players are 20, 21, 22."
