Pablo Zabaleta took the starring role in Manchester City's 1-0 FA Cup win at Stoke.

Pablo Zabaleta: "I think it was well deserved for the team. I think we did a great game.

"We knew it was going to be tough. It has always been a difficult pitch for us in the last few years.

"But I think we played a fantastic game. We were very solid at the back. We worked really well as a team.

"We created a lot of chances. I think it was the perfect game for us.

"I think it is one of the best seasons for me since I signed for Manchester City.

"I am always trying to improve myself on everything but also I have to say I am playing with great players around me. That makes every player better.

"We were very solid in set-pieces. We knew they always try to get something from corners, set-pieces and throw-ins - I think we did fantastic.

"Up front we were sharp and created chances. We couldn't score more goals but at the end we won it.

"This is the most important. Now we must be focused on QPR away."
