City looked to have no chance of winning with just five-minutes of the match remaining, but two goals in the space of six-minutes put Manuel Pellegrini's men on the verge of the last-16.
Kompany said: "It was an awkward game. They were incredibly lethal and played well with 10 men but we did what we had to do and defeated a big team today.
"If you want to succeed at anything you need to a special player in a special form. Sergio Aguero is our special player and when he is in that form he makes things achievable.
