Monaco vice-president Vadim Vasilyev compared Tuesday's stunning Champions League result at Manchester City to ice hockey, while he insisted the last-16 tie is not over.
It was a night to remember at Etihad Stadium as City came from behind to trump Monaco 5-3 in a first-leg thriller.
Monaco were in the box seat at half-time, leading 2-1, before Radamel Falcao scored his second to restore the visitors' lead just past the hour-mark, having missed a penalty 11 minutes earlier.
"I'm disappointed with the result but very proud of my players. They gave everything," he said.
"Qualification is difficult but it is possible. It's a great demonstration for the level of the Ligue 1.
"The fans of football have surely feasted. I had never seen a score like that, it looked like ice hockey."
