Pep Guardiola’s side unfortunately exited the competition at the last-eight stage - losing to a dogged Saints side at St Mary’s Stadium.
First half goals from Sekou Mara and Moussa Djenepo saw the hosts record a 2-0 victory and advance past an off-colour Blues into the semi-finals.
The boss’ changes following the interval ignited a better showing the in the second half, but the damage had already been done in the first 45 minutes.
Our focus will now turn on the three competitions we remain in - the FA Cup, Champions League and defending our Premier League crown.
And we’ll be aiming to bounce back against Manchester United on Saturday 14 January (kick-off scheduled for 12:30pm UK).
