his first ever Manchester derby.
Manchester City defender Nicolas Otamendi was pleased after
keeping a clean sheet in Sunday's stalemate against rivals
Manchester United.
The 0-0 draw was the first scoreless game between the two
Manchester sides since November 2010.
Otamendi was taking part in his first Manchester derby since
his £28.5million move from Valencia in the off-season.
The Argentina international said he was happy to be involved in
such a big game and to contribute to City's clean sheet.
"I am happy. This is one of the games that I always want to
play," he said. "I was happy to be on the field. We couldn't get
the victory but I am still happy.
"We weren't just great in defence but we were organised in all
aspects of the team. We secured an important point and it's
important as well that we didn't lose.
"The point keeps us at the top of the table. We have to keep
working to make sure we can stay up at the top for as long as
we can."
City will now turn their attention to Wednesday's League Cup
fixture against Crystal Palace.
