Man City's first foray into the knock-out stages of this competition may have ended at the first hurdle, but the Premier League side played with far more conviction than in the first leg at the Etihad.
Having won the Capital One Cup and lost in the FA Cup quarter-finals to Wigan at the weekend, Manuel Pellegrini's side now have only the Premier League - where they are nine points behind leaders Chelsea but have three games in hand - to concern them.
They will wait anxiously for news on the injury that forced Sergio Aguero, who has already missed two chunks of the season, off at half-time.
The visitors were angered by French referee Stephan Lannoy's decision to ignore what looked to be a Gerard Pique foul on striker Dzeko, leading to Zabaleta being shown a second yellow card for his protests with 12 minutes remaining.
Hmmm, we all know the fate of Man U next week lol...Chelsea is the only hopeful now for English teams in the Champions League.
