Samri Nasri scored one goal and set up another as Manchester City won 2-0 at Roma on Wednesday to reach the knockout phase of the Champions League, eliminating an Italian side that still seemed to be feeling the effects of its 7-1 thrashing by Bayern Munich.

It looked as if Roma was set to go through until Nasri found the target with a long, rising shot on the hour mark. Then Pablo Zabaleta doubled the visitors' lead in the 88th following a perfect pass from Nasri.

But who City's man of the match? Click through the gallery...

Bayern Munich easily won Group E with 15 points following a 3-0 home win over CSKA Moscow. City finished second with eight points, Roma was third with five and will play in the Europa League. CSKA finished last, also with five points.
