Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola believes his players ‘need a break’ after their 3-0 victory over Olympiakos in the Champions League.
Recent signing Ferran Torres continued his hot streak with a goal in the 12th minute.
He then took the locals until the 81st minute before doubling his lead.

Gabriel Jesús scored the goal upon his return to the City’s first team.
The Brazilian managed to face the defender before almost reaching the baseline. He thundered a shot with his right leg that passed the goalkeeper and crashed into the roof of the net.
Joao Cancelo made it 3-0 in the 90th minute to secure the three points for Guardiola’s men.
Speaking after the game, Guardiola told reporters: “The forecast for the next three days says it will be sunny in Manchester. Is rare. We will have free tomorrow. After that, on Friday and Saturday we will prepare for the Liverpool game. But the players need a break. “
When asked about acting, he said: “In the first half we played very well. In the second half we fought for a few moments but when we scored the second it was over.
“We had a good three games, nine points. We need three more points or one more point to qualify. We have five days to get Liverpool back and then the international break.
“They had one or two chances [to equalise]. When we control the way we control, we cannot finish matches, we fight with the second goal, but finally with an incredible goal from Gabriel Jesus and then from Joao Cancelo we won the match.
“John Stones is back, an incredible performance. Almost perfect. It’s not easy when you haven’t played for a long time. “
