Pep Guardiola accepted "nothing is eternal" and aimed to lead Manchester City into a new era after crashing out of the Champions League.

Kylian Mbappe's hat-trick helped Real Madrid to a 6-3 aggregate victory to knock City out before the last 16 for the first time under Guardiola.

The City boss admitted his side had been outplayed having been off the pace for much of the season although their rebuild is already under way following six January signings at a cost of more than £175m.
