[LNB]'I just hope Carlos reflects on the season, reflects on yesterday, reflects on the fact we are going to be playing Champions League football and thinks: "this is something I want to be part of".

He is a massive player for us. He is our captain, he is our top goalscorer. Everyone can see that when he steps over that white line he gives everything.

If I stay at City I have to start thinking about what I can bear and it's very difficult, that's the truth.'[LNB] Future left in doubt as Tevez refuses to get carried away with the celebrationsHistory boys!
